The New York Times is apparently not next

After Monday's announcement that the Washington Post was being sold to Amazon.com founder Jeff Bezos, the big question was: Is the New York Times next?

The answer from none other than the Times itself:

In a statement, the publisher, Arthur Sulzberger Jr., who is also chairman of The New York Times Company, said that he and Michael Golden, the vice chairman, had spoken to Donald E. Graham, chairman and chief executive of The Washington Post Company, about his decision to sell The Post and some smaller newspapers and stressed that The Times did not plan to follow a similar path.

So there it is.
