#51 William Keller

The World's Most Powerful People

#51 William Keller

Executive Editor
The New York Times
U.S.
Age: 60

Oversaw one of the most turbulent periods in New York Times history: Judy Miller fiasco, Bush White House calling for his head, reporter kidnappings, shrinking circulation and staff. But layoffs and lefty politics aside, the Gray Lady is still house organ of America's elite, and Keller sets terms of daily global debate. Now busy looking for ways to monetize online readership. Efforts to save paper "now ranks with saving Darfur as a high-minded cause." Not so fast, Murdoch: Says Times digital far outearns subscription-only Wall Street Journal on the web.
