The International Herald Tribune will officially become the International New York Times on Tuesday.
It’s yet another in the many twists and turns in the Paris-based paper’s history. Founded nearly 126 years ago, it was known early on as the Paris Herald, and then as the The New York Herald Tribune European Edition in 1935. (Film lovers will remember Jean Seberg’s character in “Breathless” hawking copies of the New York Herald Tribune on the Parisian streets.)
The paper’s current name didn’t come into being until 1967, when both the New York Times and the Washington Post Company took control of the paper.
