About the Company

The New York Times

Publishes news, sports, puzzles and recipes

The New York Times Company publishes The New York Times, a daily newspaper and news site read around the world, plus subscription products such as The Athletic for sports, Wirecutter for product reviews, NYT Games, and NYT Cooking. Its 1971 publication of the Pentagon Papers, a secret government history of the Vietnam War, led to a landmark Supreme Court ruling for press freedom. Readers follow the news, play puzzles such as Wordle, and find recipes on its websites and apps. They pay for one product or a single subscription covering all of them, while advertising, Wirecutter's shopping referral fees, and the printed newspaper bring in the rest. The Times was first published in 1851, and the company is based in New York City.
