The New York Times Company is a U.S.-based media publisher that creates, collects, and distributes news and information worldwide through two operating segments: The New York Times Group and The Athletic. Its flagship product, The Times, is delivered via mobile application, website, printed newspaper, and associated content such as podcasts, while its broader portfolio includes the sports media outlet The Athletic, the recipe platform Cooking, the puzzle-based Games product, and the Audio offering. The company operates within the GICS Publishing sub-industry under Communication Services, a sector that has undergone a structural shift from print advertising toward reader-funded digital subscription models.
In addition to consumer subscriptions, the company monetizes its audience through a portfolio of advertising products and services sold to advertisers in categories such as luxury goods, technology, and financial services, with formats spanning display, audio, video, print column-inch ads, and live events. Wirecutter, its product review and recommendation property, represents an affiliate-driven commerce extension of its editorial brand. NYT also licenses editorial content-including articles, graphics, and photographs-to digital aggregators serving business, professional, academic, and library markets, as well as to third-party digital platforms, television, films, and books, while engaging in commercial printing and distribution for third parties. Founded in 1851 and headquartered in New York, the company is one of the longest continuously operating general-interest news organizations in the United States.
