Summary:President and CEO of The New York Times Company Janet Robinson laughs heartily at the suggestion that the online publishing industry is cutthroat. Perhaps that's because she helms one of the top online newspapers in the world, but more likely it's a sign of the mettle required to steer a ship as big as The New York Times Company in an aggressively competitive business. Robinson has, as all CEOs must, a habit of pressing her point and referring to the game-changing challenges around distribution, reader fragmentation and monetisation that have been thrust on the publishing industry as "fine opportunities". She's no stranger to the challenges that digital has presented. Having been with the publisher since 1983 and risen through the ranks from general manager of The New York Times newspaper to COO of the company, driving efficiency, advertising and revenue across all properties, she has overseen its transition from print to digital.
