Are all shares non-voting shares? What's the point of ownership?

It is my understanding that the Ochs/Sulzburger family interest control the voting shares as in class A, and the "buy in " class B shareholders are screwed.

I saw a statement in an investment letter from someone at the NYT, and they want to protect "journalism from outside interests" taking control of their effetist, leftist, cocktail party friends.

May God Bless America.
