The CEO of The New York Times (NYSE: NYT) left the company in a move which surprised most observers. Janet Robinson will be out by the end of the year. Chairman Arthur Sulzberger will take the job for the time being. He is the head of the family which controls the company.

She has run the company since 2004 and will receive a $4.5 million consulting contract for next year

Ellen R. Marram, presiding director of The New York Times Company’s Board of Directors, said, “The entire Board is extremely appreciative of Janet’s significant accomplishments during her tenure as CEO. As we turn to the future, we are fortunate in the strength of our management team under the leadership of Arthur Sulzberger Jr. While we initiate the search and assess the characteristics for The New York Times Company’s next CEO, the Company will continue to execute on the strategy to transform our business via a combination of prudent fiscal management, a strong focus on ongoing digital initiatives and pursuit of new growth opportunities.”
