The New York Times (NYT)[b] is an American newspaper based inNew York City.The New York Times covers domestic, national, and international news, and publishes opinion pieces and reviews. As one of the longest-running newspapers in the United States, theTimes serves as one of the country'snewspapers of record. As of August 2025[update],The New York Times had 11.88 million total and 11.3 million online subscribers, both by significant margins thehighest numbers for any newspaper in the United States; the total also included 580,000 print subscribers.The New York Times is published bythe New York Times Company; since 1896, the company has been chaired by the Ochs-Sulzberger family, whose current chairman and the paper's publisher isA. G. Sulzberger. TheTimes is headquartered atThe New York Times Building inMidtown Manhattan.
TheTimes was founded as the conservativeNew-York Daily Times in 1851, and came to national recognition in the 1870s with its aggressive coverage of corrupt politicianBoss Tweed. Following thePanic of 1893,Chattanooga Times publisherAdolph Ochs gained a controlling interest in the company. In 1935, Ochs was succeeded by his son-in-law,Arthur Hays Sulzberger, who began a push into European news. Sulzberger's sonArthur Ochs Sulzberger became publisher in 1963, adapting to a changing newspaper industry and introducing radical changes.The New York Times was involved in the landmark 1964U.S. Supreme Court caseNew York Times Co. v. Sullivan, which restricted the ability of public officials to sue the media fordefamation.
The New York Times has been involved ina number of controversies in its history. Among other accolades, it has been awarded the Pulitzer Prize135 times since 1918, the most of any publication.
The first issue ofThe New York Times, then known asNew-York Daily Times, published in 1851
The New York Times was established in 1851 as theNew-York Daily Times byNew-York Tribune journalistsHenry Jarvis Raymond andGeorge Jones.[4] TheTimes experienced significant circulation, particularly among conservatives;New-York Tribune publisherHorace Greeley praised theTimes.[5] During theAmerican Civil War,Times correspondents gathered information directly fromConfederate states.[6] In 1869, Jones inherited the paper from Raymond,[7] who had changed its name toThe New-York Times.[8] Under Jones, theTimes began to publish a series of articles criticizingTammany Hall political bossWilliam M. Tweed, despite vehement opposition from other New York newspapers.[9] In 1871,The New-York Times published Tammany Hall's accounting books; Tweed was tried in 1873 and sentenced to twelve years in prison. TheTimes earned national recognition for its coverage of Tweed.[10] In 1891, Jones died, creating a management imbroglio in which his children had insufficient business acumen to inherit the company and his will prevented an acquisition of theTimes.[11] Editor-in-chiefCharles Ransom Miller, editorial editor Edward Cary, and correspondent George F. Spinney established a company to manageThe New-York Times,[12] but faced financial difficulties during thePanic of 1893.[13]
The New York Times extensively coveredWorld War II through large headlines,[23] reporting on exclusive stories such as theYugoslav coup d'état.[24] Amid the war, Sulzberger began expanding theTimes's operations further, acquiringWQXR-FM in 1944—the first non-Times investment since the Jones era—and established a fashion show in Times Hall. Despite reductions as a result of conscription,The New York Times retained the largest journalism staff of any newspaper.[25] TheTimes's print edition became available internationally during the war through theArmy & Air Force Exchange Service;The New York Times Overseas Weekly later became available in Japan throughThe Asahi Shimbun and in Germany through theFrankfurter Zeitung. The international edition would develop intoa separate newspaper.[26] JournalistWilliam L. Laurence publicized theatomic bomb race between the United States and Germany, resulting in theFederal Bureau of Investigation seizing copies of theTimes. The United States government recruited Laurence to document theManhattan Project in April 1945.[27] Laurence became the only witness of the Manhattan Project, a detail realized by employees ofThe New York Times following theatomic bombing of Hiroshima.[28]
FollowingWorld War II,The New York Times continued to expand.[29] TheTimes was subject to investigations from theSenate Internal Security Subcommittee, aMcCarthyist subcommittee that investigated purported communism from within press institutions.Arthur Hays Sulzberger's decision to dismiss a copyreader who had pleaded theFifth Amendment drew ire from within theTimes and from external organizations.[30] In April 1961, Sulzberger resigned, appointing his son-in-law,The New York Times Company presidentOrvil Dryfoos.[31] Under Dryfoos,The New York Times established a newspaper based inLos Angeles.[32] In 1962, the implementation of automatedprinting presses in response to increasing costs mounted fears overtechnological unemployment. The New York Typographical Union stageda strike in December, altering the media consumption of New Yorkers. The strike left New York with three remaining newspapers—theTimes, theDaily News, and theNew York Post—by its conclusion in March 1963.[33] In May, Dryfoos died of a heart ailment.[34] Following weeks of ambiguity,Arthur Ochs Sulzberger becameThe New York Times's publisher.[35]
The New York Times remained cautious in its initial coverage of theWatergate scandal.[41] AsCongress began investigating the scandal, theTimes furthered its coverage,[42] publishing details on theHuston Plan, alleged wiretapping of reporters and officials,[43] and testimony fromJames W. McCord Jr. that theCommittee for the Re-Election of the President paid the conspirators off.[44] The exodus of readers to suburban New York newspapers, such asNewsday andGannett papers, adversely affectedThe New York Times's circulation.[45] Contemporary newspapers balked at additional sections;Time devoted a cover for its criticism andNew York wrote that theTimes was engaging in "middle-class self-absorption".[46]The New York Times, theDaily News, and theNew York Post were the subject ofa strike in 1978,[47] allowing emerging newspapers to leverage halted coverage.[48] TheTimes deliberately avoided coverage of theAIDS epidemic, running its first front-page article in May 1983.Max Frankel's editorial coverage of the epidemic, with mentions ofanal intercourse, contrasted with then-executive editorA. M. Rosenthal's puritan approach, intentionally avoiding descriptions of the luridity of gay venues.[49]
Following years of waning interest inThe New York Times, Sulzberger resigned in January 1992, appointing his son,Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr., as publisher.[50] TheInternet represented a generational shift within theTimes; Sulzberger, who negotiated The New York Times Company's acquisition ofThe Boston Globe in 1993, derided the Internet, while his son expressed antithetical views. @times appeared onAmerica Online's website in May 1994 as an extension ofThe New York Times, featuring news articles, film reviews, sports news, and business articles.[51] Despite opposition, several employees of theTimes had begun to access the Internet.[52] The online success of publications that traditionally co-existed with theTimes—such as America Online,Yahoo, andCNN—and the expansion of websites such asMonster.com andCraigslist that threatenedThe New York Times'sclassified advertisement model increased efforts to develop a website.[53]nytimes.com debuted on January 19 and was formally announced three days later.[54] TheTimes published domestic terroristTed Kaczynski's essayIndustrial Society and Its Future in 1995, contributing to his arrest after his brotherDavid recognized the essay's penmanship.[55]
Following the establishment ofnytimes.com,The New York Times retained its journalistic hesitancy under executive editorJoseph Lelyveld, refusing to publish an article reporting on theClinton–Lewinsky scandal fromDrudge Report. nytimes.com editors conflicted with print editors on several occasions, including wrongfully naming security guardRichard Jewell as the suspect in theCentennial Olympic Park bombing and covering thedeath of Diana, Princess of Wales in greater detail than the print edition.[56] The New York Times Electronic Media Company was adversely affected by thedot-com crash.[57] TheTimes extensively covered theSeptember 11 attacks. The following day's print issue contained sixty-six articles,[58] the work of over three hundred dispatched reporters.[59] JournalistJudith Miller was the recipient of a package containing a white powder during the2001 anthrax attacks, furthering anxiety withinThe New York Times.[60] In September 2002, Miller and military correspondentMichael R. Gordon wrote an article for theTimes claiming that Iraq had purchasedaluminum tubes. The article was cited by then-presidentGeorge W. Bush to claim that Iraq was constructingweapons of mass destruction; the theoretical use of aluminum tubes to produce nuclear material was speculation.[61] In March 2003, the United Statesinvaded Iraq, beginning theIraq War.[62]
The New York Times attracted controversy after thirty-six articles[63] from journalistJayson Blair were discovered to be plagiarized.[64] Criticism over then-executive editorHowell Raines and then-managing editorGerald M. Boyd mounted following the scandal, culminating in a town hall in which a deputy editor criticized Raines for failing to question Blair's sources in article he wrote on theD.C. sniper attacks.[65] In June 2003, Raines and Boyd resigned.[66]Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr. appointedBill Keller as executive editor.[67] Miller continued to report on the Iraq War as ajournalistic embed covering the country's weapons of mass destruction program. Keller and then-Washington bureau chiefJill Abramson unsuccessfully attempted to subside criticism. Conservative media criticized theTimes over its coverage ofmissing explosives from theAl Qa'qaa weapons facility.[68] An article in December 2005 disclosingwarrantless surveillance by theNational Security Agency contributed to further criticism from the George W. Bush administration and theSenate's refusal to renew thePatriot Act.[69] In thePlame affair,a Central Intelligence Agency inquiry found that Miller had become aware ofValerie Plame's identity through then-vice presidentDick Cheney's chief of staffScooter Libby, resulting in Miller's resignation.[70]
During theGreat Recession,The New York Times suffered significant fiscal difficulties as a consequence of thesubprime mortgage crisis and a decline inclassified advertising.[71] Exacerbated byRupert Murdoch's revitalization ofThe Wall Street Journal through his acquisition ofDow Jones & Company,The New York Times Company began enacting measures to reduce the newsroom budget. The company was forced to borrow $250 million (equivalent to $365.11 million in 2024) from Mexican billionaireCarlos Slim and fired over one hundred employees by 2010.[72] nytimes.com's coverage of theEliot Spitzer prostitution scandal, resulting in the resignation of then-New York governorEliot Spitzer, furthered the legitimacy of the website as a journalistic medium.[73] TheTimes's economic downturn renewed discussions of an online paywall;[74]The New York Times implemented a paywall in March 2011.[75] Abramson succeeded Keller,[76] continuing her characteristic investigations into corporate and government malfeasance into theTimes's coverage.[77] Following conflicts with newly appointed chief executiveMark Thompson's ambitions,[78] Abramson was dismissed by Sulzberger Jr., who namedDean Baquet as her replacement.[79]
Trump's relationship—equally diplomatic and negative—marked Sulzberger's tenure.[90] In September 2018,The New York Times published "I Am Part of the Resistance Inside the Trump Administration", ananonymous essay by a self-described Trump administration official later revealed to beDepartment of Homeland Security chief of staffMiles Taylor.[91] The animosity—which extended to nearly three hundred instances of Trump disparaging theTimes by May 2019[92]—culminated in Trump ordering federal agencies to cancel their subscriptions toThe New York Times andThe Washington Post in October 2019.[93]Trump's tax returns have been the subject of three separate investigations.[c] During theCOVID-19 pandemic, theTimes began implementing data services and graphs.[97] On May 23, 2020,The New York Times's front page solely featuredU.S. Deaths Near 100,000, An Incalculable Loss, a subset of the 100,000 people in the United States who died of COVID-19, the first time that theTimes's front page lacked images since they were introduced.[98] Since 2020,The New York Times has focused on broader diversification, developing online games and producing television series.[99] The New York Times Company acquiredThe Athletic in January 2022.[100]
The New York Times is owned byThe New York Times Company, a publicly traded company. The New York Times Company, in addition to theTimes, ownsWirecutter,The Athletic, The New York Times Cooking, and The New York Times Games, and acquired Serial Productions and Audm. The New York Times Company holds undisclosed minority investments in multiple other businesses, and formerly ownedThe Boston Globe and several radio and television stations.[115] The New York Times Company is majority-owned by the Ochs-Sulzberger family through elevated shares in the company's dual-class stock structure held largely in a trust, in effect since the 1950s;[116] as of 2022, the family holds ninety-five percent of The New York Times Company'sClass B shares, allowing it to elect seventy percent of the company's board of directors.[117]Class A shareholders have restrictive voting rights.[118] As of 2023, The New York Times Company's chief executive isMeredith Kopit Levien, the company's former chief operating officer who was appointed in September 2020.[119]
As of March 2023, The New York Times Company employs 5,800 individuals,[99] including 1,700 journalists according to deputy managing editorSam Dolnick.[120] Journalists forThe New York Times may not run for public office, provide financial support to political candidates or causes, endorse candidates, or demonstrate public support for causes or movements.[121] Journalists are subject to the guidelines established in "Ethical Journalism" and "Guidelines on Integrity".[122] According to the former,Times journalists must abstain from using sources with a personal relationship to them and must not accept reimbursements or inducements from individuals who may be written about inThe New York Times, with exceptions for gifts of nominal value.[123] The latter requires attribution and exact quotations, though exceptions are made for linguistic anomalies. Staff writers are expected to ensure the veracity of all written claims, but may delegate researching obscure facts to the research desk.[124] In March 2021, theTimes established a committee to avoid journalistic conflicts of interest with work written forThe New York Times, following columnistDavid Brooks's resignation from theAspen Institute for his undisclosed work on the initiative Weave.[125]
The New York Times editorial board was established in 1896 byAdolph Ochs. With the opinion department, the editorial board is independent of the newsroom.[165] Then-editor-in-chiefCharles Ransom Miller served as opinion editor from 1883 until his death in 1922.[166]Rollo Ogden succeeded Miller until his death in 1937.[167] From 1937 to 1938,John Huston Finley served as opinion editor; in a prearranged plan,Charles Merz succeeded Finley.[168] Merz served in the position until his retirement in 1961.[169]John Bertram Oakes served as opinion editor from 1961 to 1976, when then-publisherArthur Ochs Sulzberger appointedMax Frankel.[170] Frankel served in the position until 1986, when he was appointed as executive editor.[171]Jack Rosenthal was the opinion editor from 1986 to 1993.[172]Howell Raines succeeded Rosenthal until 2001, when he was made executive editor.[173]Gail Collins succeeded Raines until her resignation in 2006.[174] From 2007 to 2016,Andrew Rosenthal was the opinion editor.[175]James Bennet succeeded Rosenthal until his resignation in 2020.[176] As of July 2024[update], the editorial board comprises thirteen opinion writers.[177]The New York Times's opinion editor isKathleen Kingsbury[178] and the deputy opinion editor is Patrick Healy.[113]
The New York Times's editorial board was initially opposed to liberal beliefs, opposingwomen's suffrage in 1900 and 1914. The editorial board began to espouse progressive beliefs during Oakes' tenure, conflicting with the Ochs-Sulzberger family, of which Oakes was a member as Adolph Ochs's nephew; in 1976, Oakes publicly disagreed with Sulzberger's endorsement ofDaniel Patrick Moynihan overBella Abzug in the1976 Senate Democratic primaries in a letter sent fromMartha's Vineyard. Under Rosenthal, the editorial board took positions supportingassault weapons legislation and thelegalization of marijuana, but publicly criticized theObama administration over its portrayal of terrorism.[175] In presidential elections,The New York Times hasendorsed a total of twelve Republican candidates and thirty-two Democratic candidates, and has endorsed the Democrat in every election since 1960.[179][180][j] With the exception ofWendell Willkie, Republicans endorsed by theTimes have won the presidency. In 2016, the editorial board issued an anti-endorsement againstDonald Trump for the first time in its history.[181] In February 2020, the editorial board reduced its presence from several editorials each day to occasional editorials for events deemed particularly significant. Since August 2024, the board no longer endorses candidates in local or congressional races in New York.[182]
Since 1940, editorial, media, and technology workers ofThe New York Times have been represented by theNew York Times Guild. The Times Guild, along with the Times Tech Guild, are represented by theNewsGuild-CWA.[183] In 1940,Arthur Hays Sulzberger was called upon by theNational Labor Relations Board amid accusations that he had discouraged Guild membership in theTimes. Over the next few years, the Guild would ratify several contracts, expanding to editorial and news staff in 1942 and maintenance workers in 1943.[184]
The New York Times Guild has walked out several times in its history, including for six and a half hours in 1981[185] and in 2017, when copy editors and reporters walked out at lunchtime in response to the elimination of the copy desk.[186] On December 7, 2022, the union held a one-day strike,[187] the first interruption toThe New York Times since 1978.[188] The New York Times Guild reached an agreement in May 2023 to increase minimum salaries for employees and a retroactive bonus.[189] The Times Tech Guild is the largesttechnology union withcollective bargaining rights in the United States.[190] The guild held a second strike beginning on November 4, 2024, threatening theTimes's coverage of the2024 United States presidential election.[191]
Content
Circulation
As of August 2025,The New York Times has 11.8 million subscribers, with 11.3 million online-only subscribers and 580,000 print subscribers.[192] The New York Times Company intends to have 15 million subscribers by 2027.[192] TheTimes's shift towards subscription-based revenue with the debut of an online paywall in 2011 contributed to subscription revenue exceeding advertising revenue the following year, furthered by the2016 presidential election andDonald Trump.[193] In 2022,Vox wrote thatThe New York Times's subscribers skew "older, richer, whiter, and more liberal"; to reflect the general population of the United States, theTimes has attempted to alter its audience by acquiringThe Athletic, investing in verticals such asThe New York Times Games, and beginning a marketing campaign showing diverse subscribers to theTimes. The New York Times Company chief executiveMeredith Kopit Levien stated that the average age of subscribers has remained constant.[194]
Newsletters
In October 2001,The New York Times began publishingDealBook, a financial newsletter edited byAndrew Ross Sorkin. TheTimes had intended to publish the newsletter in September, but delayed its debut following theSeptember 11 attacks.[195] A website forDealBook was established in March 2006.[196]The New York Times began shifting towardsDealBook as part of the newspaper's financial coverage in November 2010 with a renewed website and a presence in theTimes's print edition.[197] In 2011, theTimes began hosting the DealBook Summit, an annual conference hosted by Sorkin.[198] During theCOVID-19 pandemic,The New York Times hosted the DealBook Online Summit in 2020[199] and 2021.[200] The 2022 DealBook Summit featured—among other speakers—former vice presidentMike Pence and Israeli prime ministerBenjamin Netanyahu,[201] culminating in an interview with formerFTX chief executiveSam Bankman-Fried; FTX hadfiled for bankruptcy several weeks prior.[202] The 2023 DealBook Summit's speakers included vice presidentKamala Harris, Israeli presidentIsaac Herzog, and businessmanElon Musk.[198]
In June 2010,The New York Times licensed the political blogFiveThirtyEight in a three-year agreement.[203] The blog, written byNate Silver, had garnered attention during the2008 presidential election for predicting the elections in forty-nine of fifty states.FiveThirtyEight appeared on nytimes.com in August.[204] According to Silver, several offers were made for the blog; Silver wrote that a merger of unequals must allow for editorial sovereignty and resources from the acquirer, comparing himself toGroucho Marx.[205] According toThe New Republic,FiveThirtyEight drew as much as a fifth of the traffic to nytimes.com during the2012 presidential election.[206] In July 2013,FiveThirtyEight was sold toESPN.[207] In an article following Silver's exit, public editorMargaret Sullivan wrote that he was disruptive to theTimes's culture for his perspective on probability-based predictions and scorn for polling—having stated that punditry is "fundamentally useless", comparing him toBilly Beane, who implementedsabermetrics in baseball. According to Sullivan, his work was criticized by several notable political journalists.[208]
The New Republic obtained a memo in November 2013 revealing then-Washington bureau chiefDavid Leonhardt's ambitions to establish a data-driven newsletter with presidential historianMichael Beschloss, graphic designerAmanda Cox, economistJustin Wolfers, andThe New Republic journalistNate Cohn.[209] By March, Leonhardt had amassed fifteen employees from withinThe New York Times; the newsletter's staff included individuals who had created theTimes's dialect quiz,fourth down analyzer, and a calculator for determining buying or renting a home.[210]The Upshot debuted in April 2014.[211]Fast Company reviewed an article aboutIllinois Secure Choice—a state-funded retirement saving system—as "neither a terse news item, nor a formal financial advice column, nor a politically charged response to economic policy", citing its informal and neutral tone.[212]The Upshot developed "the needle" for the2016 presidential election and2020 presidential elections, a thermometer dial displaying the probability of a candidate winning.[213] In January 2016, Cox was named editor ofThe Upshot.[214] Kevin Quealy was named editor in June 2022.[215]
Political positions
The New York Times has said it is perceived as a liberal newspaper.[216] An analysis byPew Research Center in October 2014 placed theTimes readership as ideologically liberal based on a scale of 10 political values questions.[217] According to an internal readership poll conducted byThe New York Times in 2019, eighty-four percent of readers identified as liberal.[218]The New York Times has struggled internally with how to balance its coverage, dismissing criticism from the left for "sanewashing" conservative viewpoints.[219]
The New York Times has published recipes since the 1850s and has had a separate food section since the 1940s.[223] In 1961, restaurant criticCraig Claiborne publishedThe New York Times Cookbook,[224] an unauthorized cookbook that drew from theTimes's recipes.[225] Since 2010, former food editorAmanda Hesser has publishedThe Essential New York Times Cookbook, a compendium of recipes fromThe New York Times.[226] TheInnovation Report in 2014 revealed that theTimes had attempted to establish a cooking website since 1998, but faced difficulties with the absence of a defined data structure.[227] In September 2014,The New York Times introduced NYT Cooking, an application and website.[228] Edited by food editorSam Sifton,[225] theTimes's cooking website features 21,000 recipes as of 2022.[229] NYT Cooking features videos as part of an effort by Sifton to hire two formerTasty employees fromBuzzFeed.[225] In August 2023, NYT Cooking added personalized recommendations through thecosine similarity of text embeddings of recipe titles.[230] The website also features no-recipe recipes, a concept proposed by Sifton.[231]
In May 2016, The New York Times Company announced a partnership with startup Chef'd to form a meal delivery service that would deliver ingredients from The New York Times Cooking recipes to subscribers;[232] Chef'd shut down in July 2018 after failing to accrue capital and secure financing.[233]The Hollywood Reporter reported in September 2022 that theTimes would expand its delivery options toUS$95 cooking kits curated by chefs such asNina Compton, Chintan Pandya, and Naoko Takei Moore. That month, the staff of NYT Cooking went on tour with Compton, Pandya, and Moore in Los Angeles,New Orleans, and New York City, culminating in a food festival.[234] In addition,The New York Times offered its ownwine club originally operated by the Global Wine Company. The New York Times Wine Club was established in August 2009, during a dramatic decrease in advertising revenue.[235] By 2021, the wine club was managed byLot18, a company that provides proprietary labels. Lot18 managed theWilliams Sonoma Wine Club and its own wine club Tasting Room.[236]
The New York Times archives its articles ina basement annex beneath its building known as "the morgue", a venture started by managing editorCarr Van Anda in 1907. The morgue comprises news clippings, a pictures library, and theTimes's book and periodicals library. As of 2014, it is the largest library of any media company, dating back to 1851.[237] In November 2018,The New York Times partnered withGoogle to digitize the Archival Library.[238] Additionally,The New York Times has maintained a virtual microfilm reader known as TimesMachine since 2014. The service launched with archives from 1851 to 1980; in 2016, TimesMachine expanded to include archives from 1981 to 2002. TheTimes built a pipeline to take inTIFF images, article metadata inXML and anINI file ofCartesian geometry describing the boundaries of the page, and convert it into aPNG of image tiles andJSON containing the information in the XML and INI files. The image tiles are generated usingGDAL and displayed usingLeaflet, using data from acontent delivery network. TheTimes ranoptical character recognition on the articles usingTesseract andshingled andfuzzy string matched the result.[239]
Content management system
The New York Times uses a proprietary[240]content management system known as Scoop for its online content and theMicrosoft Word-based content management systemCCI for its print content. Scoop was developed in 2008 to serve as a secondary content management system for editors working in CCI to publish their content on theTimes's website; as part ofThe New York Times's online endeavors, editors now write their content in Scoop and send their work to CCI for print publication. Since its introduction, Scoop has superseded several processes within theTimes, including print edition planning and collaboration, and features tools such as multimedia integration, notifications, content tagging, and drafts.The New York Times uses private articles for high-profile opinion pieces, such as those written by Russian presidentVladimir Putin and actressAngelina Jolie, and for high-level investigations.[241] In January 2012, theTimes released Integrated Content Editor (ICE), a revision tracking tool forWordPress andTinyMCE. ICE is integrated within theTimes's workflow by providing a unified text editor for print and online editors, reducing the divide between print and online operations.[242]
By 2017,[243]The New York Times began developing a new authoring tool to its content management system known as Oak, in an attempt to further theTimes's visual efforts in articles and reduce the discrepancy between the mediums in print and online articles.[244] The system reduces the input of editors and supports additional visual mediums in an editor that resembles the appearance of the article.[243] Oak is based on ProseMirror, aJavaScript rich-text editor toolkit, and retains the revision tracking and commenting functionalities ofThe New York Times's previous systems. Additionally, Oak supports predefined article headers.[245] In 2019, Oak was updated to support collaborative editing usingFirebase to update editors's cursor status. Several Google Cloud Functions and Google Cloud Tasks allow articles to be previewed as they will be printed, and theTimes's primaryMySQL database is regularly updated to update editors on the article status.[246]
Since 1895,The New York Times has maintained amanual of style in several forms.The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage was published on theTimes'sintranet in 1999.[247]
The New York Times useshonorifics when referring to individuals. With theAP Stylebook's removal of honorifics in 2000 andThe Wall Street Journal's omission of courtesy titles in May 2023, theTimes is the only national newspaper that continues to use honorifics. According to former copy editor Merrill Perlman,The New York Times continues to use honorifics as a "sign of civility".[248] TheTimes's use of courtesy titles led to an apocryphal rumor that the paper had referred to singerMeat Loaf as "Mr. Loaf".[249] Several exceptions have been made; the former sports section andThe New York Times Book Review do not use honorifics.[250] A leaked memo following thekilling of Osama bin Laden in May 2011 revealed that editors were given a last-minute instruction to omit the honorific fromOsama bin Laden's name, consistent with deceased figures of historic significance, such asAdolf Hitler,Napoleon, andVladimir Lenin.[251]The New York Times uses academic and military titles for individuals prominently serving in that position.[252] In 1986, theTimes began to useMs.,[250] and introduced the gender-neutral titleMx. in 2015.[253]The New York Times uses initials when a subject has expressed a preference, such asDonald Trump.[254]
The New York Times maintains a strict but not absolute obscenity policy, including phrases. In a review of the Canadianhardcore punk bandFucked Up, music criticKelefa Sanneh wrote that the band's name—entirely rendered in asterisks—would not be printed in theTimes "unless an American president, or someone similar, says it by mistake";[255]The New York Times did not repeat then-vice presidentDick Cheney's use of "fuck" against then-senatorPatrick Leahy in 2004[256] or then-vice presidentJoe Biden's remarks that the passage of theAffordable Care Act in 2010 was a "big fucking deal".[257] TheTimes's profanity policy has been tested by former president Donald Trump.The New York Times published Trump'sAccess Hollywood tape in October 2016, containing the words "fuck", "pussy", "bitch", and "tits", the first time the publication had published an expletive on its front page,[258] and repeated an explicit phrase for fellatio stated by then-White House communications directorAnthony Scaramucci in July 2017.[259]The New York Times omitted Trump's use of the phrase "shithole countries" from its headline in favor of "vulgar language" in January 2018.[260] TheTimes banned certain words, such as "bitch", "whore", and "sluts", fromWordle in 2022.[261]
Headlines
Journalists forThe New York Times do not write their own headlines, but rather copy editors who specifically write headlines. TheTimes's guidelines insist headline editors get to the main point of an article but avoid giving away endings, if present. Other guidelines include using slang "sparingly", avoidingtabloid headlines, not ending a line on a preposition, article, or adjective, and chiefly, not to pun.The New York Times Manual of Style and Usage states that wordplay, such as "Rubber Industry Bounces Back", is to be tested on a colleague as acanary is to be tested in a coal mine; "when no song bursts forth, start rewriting".[262]The New York Times has amended headlines due to controversy. In 2019, following two back-to-back mass shootings inEl Paso andDayton, theTimes used the headline, "Trump Urges Unity vs. Racism", to describe then-presidentDonald Trump's words after the shootings. After criticism fromFiveThirtyEight founderNate Silver, the headline was changed to, "Assailing Hate But Not Guns".[263]
Online,The New York Times's headlines do not face the same length restrictions as headlines that appear in print; print headlines must fit within a column, often six words. Additionally, headlines must "break" properly, containing a complete thought on each line without splitting up prepositions and adverbs. Writers may edit a headline to fit an article more aptly if further developments occur. TheTimes usesA/B testing for articles on the front page, placing two headlines against each other. At the end of the test, the headlines that receives more traffic is chosen.[264] The alteration of a headline regarding intercepted Russian data used in theMueller special counsel investigation was noted by Trump in a March 2017 interview withTime, in which he claimed that the headline used the word "wiretapped" in the print version of the paper on January 20, while the digital article on January 19 omitted the word. The headline was intentionally changed in the print version to use "wiretapped" in order to fit within the print guidelines.[265]

The nameplate ofThe New York Times has been unaltered since 1967. In creating the initial nameplate,Henry Jarvis Raymond took as his model the British newspaperThe Times, which used aBlackletter style calledTextura, popularized following thefall of the Western Roman Empire and regional variations ofAlcuin's script, as well as a period. With the change toThe New-York Times on September 14, 1857, the nameplate followed. UnderGeorge Jones, theterminals of the "N", "r", and "s" were intentionally exaggerated into swashes. The nameplate in the January 15, 1894, issue trimmed the terminals once more, smoothed the edges, and turned the stem supporting the "T" into an ornament. The hyphen was dropped on December 1, 1896, afterAdolph Ochs purchased the paper. Thedescender of the "h" was shortened on December 30, 1914. The largest change to the nameplate was introduced on February 21, 1967, when type designerEd Benguiat redesigned the logo, most prominently turning the arrow ornament into a diamond. Notoriously, the new logo dropped theperiod that had followed the wordTimes up until that point; one reader compared the omission of the period to "performing plastic surgery onHelen of Troy." Picture editor John Radosta worked with aNew York University professor to determine that dropping the period saved the paperUS$41.28 (equivalent to $389.28 in 2024).[266]
Print edition
Design and layout
As of December 2023,The New York Times has printed sixty thousand issues, a statistic represented in the paper's masthead to the right of the volume number, theTimes's years in publication written inRoman numerals.[267] The volume and issues are separated by four dots representing the edition number of that issue; on the day of the 2000 presidential election, theTimes was revised four separate times, necessitating the use of anem dash in place of an ellipsis.[268] The em dash issue was printed hundreds times over before being replaced by the one-dot issue. Despite efforts by newsroom employees to recycle copies sent toThe New York Times's office, several copies were kept, including one put on display at the Museum at The Times.[269] From February 7, 1898, to December 31, 1999, theTimes's issue number was incorrect by five hundred issues, an error suspected byThe Atlantic to be the result of a careless front page type editor. The misreporting was noticed by news editor Aaron Donovan, who was calculating the number of issues in a spreadsheet and noticed the discrepancy.The New York Times celebrated fifty thousand issues on March 14, 1995, an observance that should have occurred on July 26, 1996.[270]
The New York Times has reduced the physical size of its print edition while retaining itsbroadsheet format.The New-York Daily Times debuted at 18 inches (460 mm) across. By the 1950s, theTimes was being printed at 16 inches (410 mm) across. In 1953, an increase in paper costs toUS$10 (equivalent to $117.52 in 2024) a ton increased newsprint costs toUS$21.7 million (equivalent to $318,492,412.94 in 2024) On December 28, 1953, the pages were reduced to 15.5 inches (390 mm). On February 14, 1955, a further reduction to 15 inches (380 mm) occurred, followed by 14.5 and 13.5 inches (370 and 340 mm). On August 6, 2007, the largest cut occurred when the pages were reduced to 12 inches (300 mm),[k] a decision that other broadsheets had previously considered. Then-executive editorBill Keller stated that a narrower paper would be more beneficial to the reader but acknowledged a net loss in article space of five percent.[271] In 1985, The New York Times Company established a minority stake in aUS$21.7 million (equivalent to $318,492,412.94 in 2024) newsprint plant inClermont, Quebec throughDonahue Malbaie.[272] The company sold its equity interest in Donahue Malbaie in 2017.[273]
The New York Times often uses large, bolded headlines for major events. For the print version of theTimes, these headlines are written by one copy editor, reviewed by two other copy editors, approved by the masthead editors, and polished by other print editors. The process is completed before 8 p.m., but it may be repeated if further development occur, as did take place during the2020 presidential election. On the dayJoe Biden was declared the winner,The New York Times utilized a "hammer headline" reading, "Biden Beats Trump", in all caps and bolded. A dozen journalists discussed several potential headlines, such as "It's Biden" or "Biden's Moment", and prepared for aDonald Trump victory, in which they would use "Trump Prevails".[274] During Trump'sfirst impeachment, theTimes drafted the hammer headline, "Trump Impeached".The New York Times altered theligatures between the E and the A, as not doing so would leave a noticeable gap due to the stem of the A sloping away from the E. TheTimes reused the tightkerning for "Biden Beats Trump" and Trump'ssecond impeachment, which simply read, "Impeached".[275]
In cases where two major events occur on the same day or immediately after each other,The New York Times has used a "paddle wheel" headline, where both headlines are used but split by a line. The term dates back to August 8, 1959, when it was revealed that the United States was monitoring Soviet missile firings and whenExplorer 6—shaped like apaddle wheel—launched. Since then, the paddle wheel has been used several times, including on January 21, 1981, whenRonald Reagan wassworn in minutes beforeIran released fifty-two American hostages, ending theIran hostage crisis. At the time, most newspapers favored the end of the hostage crisis, but theTimes placed the inauguration above the crisis. Other occasions in which the paddle wheel has been used include on July 26, 2000, when the2000 Camp David Summit ended without an agreement and when Bush announced thatDick Cheney would be his running mate, and on June 24, 2016, when theUnited Kingdom European Union membership referendum passed, beginningBrexit, and when theSupreme Court deadlocked inUnited States v. Texas.[276]
The New York Times's distribution center inCollege Point, Queens
Since 1997,[281]The New York Times's primary distribution center is located inCollege Point, Queens. The facility is 300,000 sq ft (28,000 m2) and employs 170 people as of 2017. The College Point distribution center prints 300,000 to 800,000 newspapers daily. On most occasions, presses start before 11 p.m. and finish before 3 a.m. A robotic crane grabs a roll of newsprint and several rollers ensure ink can be printed on paper. The final newspapers are wrapped in plastic and shipped out.[282] As of 2018, the College Point facility accounted for 41 percent of production. Other copies are printed at 26 other publications, such asThe Atlanta Journal-Constitution,The Dallas Morning News,The Santa Fe New Mexican, and theCourier Journal. With thedecline of newspapers, particularly regional publications, theTimes must travel further; for example, newspapers for Hawaii are flown from San Francisco onUnited Airlines, and Sunday papers are flown from Los Angeles onHawaiian Airlines. Computer glitches, mechanical issues, and weather phenomena affect circulation but do not stop the paper from reaching customers.[283] The College Point facility prints over two dozen other papers, includingThe Wall Street Journal andUSA Today.[284]
The New York Times has halted its printing process several times to account for major developments. The first printing stoppage occurred on March 31, 1968, when then-presidentLyndon B. Johnson announced that he would not seek a second term. Other press stoppages include May 19, 1994, for the death of former first ladyJacqueline Kennedy Onassis, and July 17, 1996, forTrans World Airlines Flight 800. The2000 presidential election necessitated two press stoppages.Al Gore appeared to concede on November 8, forcing then-executive editorJoseph Lelyveld to stop theTimes's presses to print a new headline, "Bush Appears to Defeat Gore", with a story that statedGeorge W. Bush was elected president. However, Gore held off his concession speech over doubts overFlorida. Lelyveld reran the headline, "Bush and Gore Vie for an Edge". Since 2000, three printing stoppages have been issued for the death ofWilliam Rehnquist on September 3, 2005, for thekilling of Osama bin Laden on May 1, 2011, and for the passage of theMarriage Equality Act in theNew York State Assembly and subsequent signage by then-governorAndrew Cuomo on June 24, 2011.[285]
The New York Times website is hosted at nytimes.com. It has undergone several major redesigns and infrastructure developments since its debut. In April 2006,The New York Times redesigned its website with an emphasis on multimedia.[286] In preparation forSuper Tuesday in February 2008, theTimes developed a live election system using theAssociated Press'sFile Transfer Protocol (FTP) service and aRuby on Rails application; nytimes.com experienced its largest traffic on Super Tuesday and the day after.[287]
Applications
The NYTimes application debuted with the introduction of theApp Store on July 10, 2008.Engadget's Scott McNulty wrote critically of the app, negatively comparing it toThe New York Times's mobile website.[288] AniPad version with select articles was released on April 3, 2010, with the release of thefirst-generation iPad.[289] In October,The New York Times expanded NYT Editors' Choice to include the paper's full articles. NYT for iPad was free until 2011.[290] TheTimes applications oniPhone and iPad began offering in-app subscriptions in July 2011.[291] TheTimes released aweb application for iPad—featuring a format summarizing trending headlines onTwitter[292]—and aWindows 8 application in October 2012.[293]
Efforts to ensure profitability through an online magazine and a "Need to Know" subscription emerged inAdweek in July 2013.[294] In March 2014,The New York Times announced three applications—NYT Now, an application that offers pertinent news in a blog format, and two unnamed applications, later known as NYT Opinion[295] and NYT Cooking[227]—to diversify its product laterals.[296]
Podcasts
The Daily is the modern front page ofThe New York Times.
The New York Times manages several podcasts, including multiple podcasts with Serial Productions. TheTimes's longest-running podcast isThe Book Review Podcast,[298] debuting asInsideThe New York Times Book Review in April 2006.[299]
The New York Times's defining podcast isThe Daily,[297] a daily news podcast hosted byMichael Barbaro which debuted on February 1, 2017.[300] Between March 2022 and March 2025, the approximately 30 minute programme was co-hosted withSabrina Tavernise.[301] Beginning in April 2025 Barbaro was joined by two new regular co-hosts,Natalie Kitroeff andRachel Abrams.[302]
The Interview was launched in 2024 and is hosted weekly byDavid Marchese andLulu Garcia-Navarro. Episodes typically last 40 to 50 minutes. Condensed versions of the interviews are published simultaneously inThe New York Times Magazine.[303] Guests have included politicians, actors, influential experts, media figures and high-profile writers.
In October 2021,The New York Times began testing "New York Times Audio", an application featuring podcasts from theTimes, audio versions of articles—including from other publications through Audm, and archives fromThis American Life.[304] The application debuted in May 2023 exclusively oniOS forTimes subscribers. New York Times Audio includes exclusive podcasts such asThe Headlines, a daily news recap, andShorts, short audio stories under ten minutes. In addition, a "Reporter Reads" section featuresTimes journalists reading their articles and providing commentary.[305]
The New York Times has used video games as part of its journalistic efforts, among the first publications to do so,[306] contributing to an increase in Internet traffic;[307] the publication has also developed its own video games. In 2014,The New York Times Magazine introducedSpelling Bee, aword game in which players guess words from a set of letters in ahoneycomb and are awarded points for the length of the word and receive extra points if the word is apangram.[308] The game was proposed byWill Shortz, created byFrank Longo, and has been maintained bySam Ezersky. In May 2018,Spelling Bee was published on nytimes.com, furthering its popularity.[309] In February 2019, theTimes introducedLetter Boxed, in which players form words from letters placed on the edges of a square box,[310] followed in June 2019 byTiles, amatching game in which players form sequences of tile pairings, andVertex, in which players connect vertices to assemble an image.[311] In July 2023,The New York Times introducedConnections, in which players identify groups of words that are connected by a common property.[312] In April, theTimes introducedDigits, a game that required usingoperations on different values to reach a set number;Digits was shut down in August.[313] In March 2024,The New York Times releasedStrands, a themedword search.[314]
In January 2022, The New York Times Company acquiredWordle, a word game developed byJosh Wardle in 2021, at a valuation in the "low-seven figures".[315] The acquisition was proposed by David Perpich, a member of the Sulzberger family who proposed the purchase to Knight[316] overSlack after reading about the game.[317]The Washington Post purportedly considered acquiringWordle, according toVanity Fair.[316] At the 2022Game Developers Conference, Wardle stated that he was overwhelmed by the volume ofWordle facsimiles and overzealous monetization practices in other games.[318] Concerns overThe New York Times monetizingWordle by implementing a paywall mounted;[319]Wordle is a client-sidebrowser game and can be played offline by downloading its webpage.[320]Wordle moved to theTimes's servers and website in February.[321] The game was added to the NYT Games application in August,[322] necessitating it be rewritten in theJavaScript libraryReact.[323] In November,The New York Times announced thatTracy Bennett would be theWordle's editor.[324]
In February 2016,The New York Times introduced a Spanish website,The New York Times en Español.[326] The website, intended to be read on mobile devices, would contain translated articles from theTimes and reporting from journalists based inMexico City.[327] TheTimes en Español's style editor is Paulina Chavira, who has advocated for pluralistic Spanish to accommodate the variety of nationalities in the newsroom's journalists and wrote a stylebook forThe New York Times en Español.[328]
Articles theTimes intends to publish in Spanish are sent to a translation agency and adapted for Spanish writing conventions; the present progressive tense may be used for forthcoming events in English, but other tenses are preferable in Spanish. TheTimes en Español consults theReal Academia Española andFundéu and frequently modifies the use of diacritics—such as using an acute accent for theCártel de Sinaloa but not theCartel de Medellín—and using the gender-neutral pronounelle.[329] Headlines inThe New York Times en Español are not capitalized. TheTimes en Español publishesEl Times, a newsletter led by Elda Cantú intended for all Spanish speakers.[330] In September 2019,The New York Times endedThe New York Times en Español's separate operations.[331] A study published inThe Translator in 2023 found that theTimes en Español engaged intabloidization.[332]
The New York Times in Chinese
In June 2012,The New York Times introduced a Chinese website,纽约时报中文, in response to Chinese editions created byThe Wall Street Journal and theFinancial Times. Conscious tocensorship, theTimes established servers outside of China and affirmed that the website would uphold the paper's journalistic standards; thegovernment of China had previously blocked articles from nytimes.com through theGreat Firewall,[333] and the website was blocked in China until August 2001 after then-general secretaryJiang Zemin met with journalists fromThe New York Times.[334] Then-foreign editorJoseph Kahn assisted in the establishment of cn.nytimes.com, an effort that contributed to his appointment as executive editor in April 2022.[335]
In October 2012,纽约时报中文 published an article detailing the wealth of then-premierWen Jiabao's family. In response, the government of China blocked access to nytimes.com and cn.nytimes.com and references to theTimes and Wen were censored on microblogging serviceSina Weibo.[334] In March 2015, amirror of纽约时报中文 and the website forGreatFire were the targets for a government-sanctioneddistributed denial of service attack onGitHub in March 2015, disabling access to the service for several days.[336] Chinese authorities requested the removal ofThe New York Times's news applications from theApp Store in December 2016.[337]
The New Yorker's Max Norman wrote in March 2023 that theTimes has shaped mainstream English usage.[347] In a January 2018 article forThe Washington Post,Margaret Sullivan stated thatThe New York Times affects the "whole media and political ecosystem".[348]
The New York Times's nascent success has led to concerns over media consolidation, particularly amid thedecline of newspapers. In 2006, economists Lisa George andJoel Waldfogel examined the consequences of theTimes's national distribution strategy and audience with circulation of local newspapers, finding that local circulation decreased among college-educated readers.[349] The effect ofThe New York Times in this manner was observed inThe Forum of Fargo-Moorhead, the newspaper of record forFargo, North Dakota.[350]Axios founderJim VandeHei opined that theTimes is "going to basically be a monopoly" in an opinion piece written by then-media columnist and formerBuzzFeed News editor-in-chiefBen Smith; in the article, Smith cites the strength ofThe New York Times's journalistic workforce, broadening content, and the expropriation ofGawker editor-in-chiefChoire Sicha,Recode editor-in-chiefKara Swisher, andQuartz editor-in-chief Kevin Delaney. Smith compared theTimes to theNew York Yankees during their1927 season containingMurderers' Row.[351]
The New York Times has received criticism for its coverage of theGaza war.[357][358] In April 2024,The Intercept reported that a November 2023 internal memorandum by Susan Wessling andPhilip Pan instructed journalists to reduce using the terms "genocide" and "ethnic cleansing" and to avoid using the phrase "occupied territory" in the context of Palestinian land, "Palestine" except in rare circumstances, and the term "refugee camps" to describe areas of Gaza despite recognition from theUnited Nations.[359] A spokesperson from theTimes stated that issuing guidance was standard practice. An analysis byThe Intercept noted thatThe New York Times described Israeli deaths as a massacre nearly sixty times, but had only described Palestinian deaths as a massacre once.[220] Writers and editors have left the newspaper due to its coverage of events in Gaza, includingJazmine Hughes andJamie Lauren Keiles.[360]
In December 2023,The New York Times published an investigation titled "'Screams Without Words': How Hamas Weaponized Sexual Violence on Oct. 7", alleging thatHamas weaponizedsexual and gender-based violence during itsarmed incursion on Israel.[361] The investigation was the subject of an article fromThe Intercept questioning the journalistic acumen ofAnat Schwartz, a filmmaker involved in the inquiry who had no prior reporting experience and agreed with a post stating Israel should "violate any norm, on the way to victory", doubting the veracity of the opening claim that Gal Abdush was raped in a timespan disputed by her family, and alleging that theTimes was pressured by theCommittee for Accuracy in Middle East Reporting in America.[362]The New York Times initiated an inquiry into the leaking of confidential information about the report to other outlets, which received criticism fromNewsGuild of New York president Susan DeCarava for purported racial targeting;[363] theTimes's investigation was inconclusive, but found gaps in the way proprietary journalistic material is handled.[364]
The New York Times Building has been a site of protest action during the Gaza war andgenocide, including a November 2023 sit-in demanding that The Times’ editorial board publicly call for a ceasefire and accusing the media company of "complicity in laundering genocide,"[365] a February 29, 2024 protest and press conference following the release ofThe Intercept's critical investigation into the NYT "Screams Without Words" exposé,[366] and anaction on July 30, 2025 in which protesters spray-painted "NYT Lies, Gaza dies" on the building's glass facade.[367] In addition, protesters blockedThe New York Times' distribution center March 14, 2024[368] and executive editorJoseph Kahn's residence was splattered with red paint on August 25, 2025.[369][370] The collectiveWriters Against the War on Gaza, which publishes the mock publicationThe New York War Crimes, has been associated with protests againstThe New York Times.[371]
The New York Times has received criticism regarding its coverage oftransgender people. When it published an opinion piece byWeill Cornell Medicine professorRichard A. Friedman called "How Changeable Is Gender?" in August 2015,[372]Vox's German Lopez criticized Friedman as suggesting that parents and doctors might be right in letting children suffer from severe dysphoria in case something changes down the line, and as implying that conversion therapy may work for transgender children.[373] In February 2023, nearly one thousand[374] current and formerTimes writers and contributors wrote an open letter addressed to standards editor Philip B. Corbett, criticizing the paper's coverage of transgender,non-binary, andgender-nonconforming people; some of theTimes' articles have been cited in state legislatures attempting to justify criminalizing gender-affirming care.[375] Contributors wrote in the open letter that "theTimes has in recent years treatedgender diversity with an eerily familiar mix ofpseudoscience and euphemistic, charged language, while publishing reporting ontrans children that omits relevant information about its sources."[n]
^In 1896, theTimes endorsedJohn M. Palmer, theNational Democratic Party nominee, its only endorsement for a candidate who is not a member of the Republican Party or the Democratic Party.[179]
^The national edition ofThe New York Times uses 11.5 inches (290 mm) pages.[271]
^A 2003 study in theHarvard International Journal of Press/Politics concluded thatThe New York Times reporting was more favorable to Israelis than to Palestinians.[352] A 2002 study published in the journalJournalism examined Middle East coverage of theSecond Intifada over a one-month period inThe New York Times,The Washington Post and theChicago Tribune. The study authors said that theTimes was "the most slanted in a pro-Israeli direction" with a bias "reflected...in its use of headlines, photographs, graphics, sourcing practices, and lead paragraphs."[353] AMedia, War & Conflict study based on a quantitative analysis of use ofactive andpassive voice and of the sentiment of the language used during thefirst andsecond Palestinian intifadas found the paper's coverage of the events was disproportionately anti-Palestinian and that such bias worsened from the First Intifada to the Second.[354] A 2024 piece in the journalIsrael Affairs also found "errors, omissions, and poor editorial supervision" in the paper's coverage of the Gaza war, arguing:
The casualty reports throughout the war relied almost solely on the Gaza Ministry of Health, which is controlled by Hamas, and frequently produced false and inflated data. Also, the repeated omissions of IDF statements about journalists that were active Hamas operatives showed that the Times preferred to believe Aljazeera, a questionable news organisation serving an autocratic leader, over the credibility of the IDF, a formal institution of a democratic state.[355]

Several time periods were examined (1987–88, 2000–01, and post-September 11, 2001), using multiple indicators. By these measures,The New York Times is more favorable toward the Israelis than the Palestinians, and the partiality has become more pronounced with time.
