New Times, Inc.
 PROFILE
New Times chimes in with an alternative to traditional print journalism. The publisher of a dozen alternative newspapers, the company offers a collection of publications that includes the "Dallas Observer," the "Miami New Times," and "SF Weekly." In addition to its newspapers, New Times also owns the Ruxton Group, which sells advertising for more than two dozen newsweeklies (including New Times' publications). Founded in 1969 by Arizona State University students opposed to the Vietnam-era shootings at Kent State, New Times has built its stable of newspapers through acquisitions. Co-founders Jim Larkin and Michael Lacey (chairman and CEO) each own 40% of New Times; employees own the rest.
