Founded on October 4, 1887 by New York Herald owner James Gordon Bennett, Jr., the company is based in Neuilly-sur-Seine, a suburb of Paris, and today is completely owned by The New York Times Company after it completed a purchase of the 50% stake owned by the Washington Post on December 30, 2002. The takeover ended a 35-year partnership between The New York Times and its domestic competitor, The Washington Post.
