Russell T. Lewis
The New York Times
3 - year return: 130%
Age: 51
CEO since: 1997
Lewis made major strides last year toward reinventing the Times as a national newspaper. Along with chairman Arthur Sulzberger Jr., whose family still owns a controlling interest, Lewis coordinated 1 a $1 billion plan that, among other things, introduced color. The two also transformed the paper into a six-section daily, opened printing plants in Washington, D. C., and Boston to improve northeastern distribution, and pushed the national edition into dozens of new markets. Revenue grew 2.5 percent to almost $3 billion.
路易斯（ Lewis）去年取得了令人瞩目的成绩，他使纽约时报重新成为全国性报纸。与主席小亚瑟萨尔兹伯格（ Arthur Sulzberger Jr.，其家族手中掌握着该报的控制权）一起，路易斯协调了一项 10亿美元的计划用于引进彩色印刷及其它许多项目。另外，两个人将报纸变成了每天六部分，并在华盛顿特区和波士顿建立了印刷厂以促进西北部的发行工作，还将国内版打入了许多新市场中。其年收入增涨了 2.5%，达到近 30亿美元。
