WHEN LINDA PIZZUTI HENRY and her husband, John W. Henry, bought The Boston Globe in 2013 for $70 million, she announced her intention to adapt the venerable institution to the changing media landscape.

“When I walked into the old Morrissey Boulevard building with John on our first day over seven years ago, past the hum of the presses and the welcoming smell of ink, I wasn’t sure exactly what my role would be,” Pizzuti Henry said. “But I knew that I was lucky to work here, and it was clear to me why this institution needed to not only survive the secular decline of trusted local journalism, but also needed to innovate and evolve and invest in a new way of doing things in order to thrive and effectively serve our mission.”
