| {{Main|New York Times Co. v. Sullivan}}
| |
| The paper's involvement in a 1964 [[libel]] case helped bring one of the key [[Supreme Court of the United States|United States Supreme Court]] decisions supporting [[freedom of the press]], ''New York Times Co. v. Sullivan''. In it, the United States Supreme Court established the "[[actual malice]]" standard for press reports about public officials or [[public figure]]s to be considered [[defamation|defamatory]] or [[libel]]ous. The malice standard requires the plaintiff in a defamation or libel case to prove the publisher of the statement knew the statement was false or acted in [[Recklessness (law)|reckless disregard]] of its truth or falsity. Because of the high [[Legal burden of proof|burden of proof]] on the plaintiff, and difficulty proving malicious intent, such cases by public figures rarely succeed.<ref>{{cite court| litigants=New York Times Co. v.

| ===The ''Pentagon Papers'' (1971)===
| |
| {{Main|Pentagon Papers}}
| |
| In 1971, the ''Pentagon Papers'', a secret [[United States Department of Defense]] history of the United States' political and military involvement in the [[Vietnam War]] from 1945 to 1967, were given ("leaked") to [[Neil Sheehan]] of ''The New York Times'' by former [[United States Department of State|State Department]] official [[Daniel Ellsberg]], with his friend [[Anthony Russo (whistleblower)|Anthony Russo]] assisting in copying them. ''The New York Times'' began publishing excerpts as a series of articles on June 13. Controversy and lawsuits followed. The papers revealed, among other things, that the government had deliberately expanded its role in the war by conducting airstrikes over [[Laos]], raids along the coast of [[North Vietnam]], and offensive actions were taken by the [[United States Marine Corps|U.S. Marines]] well before the public was told about the actions, all while President [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] had been promising not to expand the war. The document increased the [[credibility gap]] for the [[U.S. government]], and hurt efforts by the [[Nixon administration]] to fight the ongoing war.<ref name="nytpentagon">{{cite news| url=http://topics.nytimes.com/top/reference/timestopics/subjects/p/pentagon_papers/index.html| title=Pentagon Papers| last=Cohen| first=Noam| work=The New York Times| access-date=September 18, 2008}}</ref>
| |
| | |
| When ''The New York Times'' began publishing its series, President [[Richard Nixon]] became incensed. His words to [[National Security]] Advisor [[Henry Kissinger]] included "People have gotta be put to the torch for this sort of thing" and "Let's get the son-of-a-bitch in jail."<ref>{{cite web| url=http://www.gwu.edu/~nsarchiv/NSAEBB/NSAEBB48/nixon.html| title=Audio Tapes from the Nixon White House| publisher=[[National Security Archive]]| access-date=January 20, 2009}}</ref> After failing to get ''The New York Times'' to stop publishing, [[United States Attorney General|Attorney General]] [[John N. Mitchell|John Mitchell]] and President Nixon obtained a federal court injunction that ''The New York Times'' cease publication of excerpts. The newspaper appealed and the case began working through the court system.
| |
| | |
| On June 18, 1971, ''The Washington Post'' began publishing its own series. [[Ben Bagdikian]], a ''Post'' editor, had obtained portions of the papers from Ellsberg. That day the ''Post'' received a call from [[William Rehnquist]], an assistant U.S. Attorney General for the [[Office of Legal Counsel]], asking them to stop publishing. When the ''Post'' refused, the [[United States Department of Justice|U.S. Justice Department]] sought another injunction. The [[United States district court|U.S. District court]] judge refused, and the government appealed.
| |
| | |
| On June 26, 1971, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to take both cases, merging them into ''[[New York Times Co. v. United States]]''.<ref>{{ussc|name=New York Times Co. v. United States|volume=403|page=713|year=1971}}</ref> On June 30, 1971, the Supreme Court held in a 6–3 decision that the injunctions were unconstitutional prior restraints and that the government had not met the burden of proof required. The justices wrote nine separate opinions, disagreeing on significant substantive issues. While it was generally seen as a victory for those who claim the [[First Amendment to the United States Constitution|First Amendment]] enshrines an absolute [[Freedom of speech|right to free speech]], many felt it a lukewarm victory, offering little protection for future publishers when claims of [[national security]] were at stake.<ref name="nytpentagon" />

| In August 2007, the paper reduced the physical size of its print edition, cutting the page width from {{convert|13.5|in|cm}} to a {{convert|12|in|cm}}. This followed similar moves by a roster of other newspapers in the previous ten years, including ''[[USA Today]]'', ''[[The Wall Street Journal]]'', and ''[[The Washington Post]]''. The move resulted in a 5% reduction in news space, but (in an era of dwindling circulation and significant advertising revenue losses) also saved about $12 million a year.<ref name=observer1>{{cite web|url=http://observer.com/2014/07/seinfeld-is-becoming-a-smart-phone-using-binge-watching-millennial/|title=New York Times to Cut Size 5 Percent; Keller Says Paper Better Off Smaller | the ''New York Observer''|date=July 17, 2006|work=The New York Observer|access-date=September 15, 2008}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=38405&c=1|title=New York Times trims paper size to cut costs|date=August 7, 2007|work=Press Gazette|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081228002638/http://www.pressgazette.co.uk/story.asp?sectioncode=1&storycode=38405&c=1|archive-date=December 28, 2008|url-status=dead|access-date=September 18, 2008}}</ref>

This change also included having the Metro section called New York outside of the Tri-State Area. The presses used by ''The New York Times'' can allow four sections to be printed simultaneously; as the paper includes more than four sections on all days except for Saturday, the sections were required to be printed separately in an early press run and collated together. The changes allowed ''The New York Times'' to print in four sections Monday through Wednesday, in addition to Saturday. ''The New York Times''{{'}} announcement stated that the number of news pages and employee positions would remain unchanged, with the paper realizing cost savings by cutting overtime expenses.<ref name="Pérez-Peña, Richard" />

| ===Gender discrimination in employment===
| |
| [[Employment discrimination|Discriminatory]] practices used by the paper long restricted women in appointments to editorial positions. The newspaper's first general female reporter was [[Jane Grant]], who described her experience afterward: "In the beginning I was charged not to reveal the fact that a female had been hired". Other reporters nicknamed her Fluff and she was subjected to considerable [[hazing]]. Because of her [[Sex and gender distinction|gender]], any promotion was out of the question, according to the then-managing editor. She remained on the staff for fifteen years, interrupted by World War I.<ref>Grant, Jane, ''Confession of a Feminist'', in ''[[The American Mercury]]'', vol. LVII, no. 240, Dec. 1943 (microfilm), pp. 684–691, esp. pp. 684–686.</ref>

| In 1935, [[Anne McCormick]] wrote to [[Arthur Hays Sulzberger]]: "I hope you won't expect me to revert to 'woman's-point-of-view' stuff."<ref>Robertson, Nan, ''The Girls in the Balcony: Women, Men, and ''The New York Times (N.Y.: Random House, [2nd printing?] 1992 ({{ISBN|0-394-58452-X}})), p. 35.</ref> Later, she interviewed major political leaders and appears to have had easier access than her colleagues.

| Covering world leaders' speeches after [[World War II]] at the [[National Press Club (USA)|National Press Club]] was limited to men by a club rule. When women were eventually allowed to hear the speeches directly, they were still not allowed to ask the speakers questions. However, men were allowed and did ask, even though some of the women had won Pulitzer Prizes for prior work.<ref>Robertson, Nan, ''The Girls in the Balcony'', pp. 100–101.</ref> ''Times'' reporter Maggie Hunter refused to return to the club after covering one speech on assignment.<ref>Robertson, Nan, ''The Girls in the Balcony'', pp. 101–102.</ref> [[Nan C.

[G]asps; amazement in the ranks. 'She had used all her senses, not just her eyes, to convey the smell and feel of the stockyards. She chose a difficult subject, an offensive subject. Her imagery was strong enough to revolt you.'"<ref>Robertson, Nan, ''The Girls in the Balcony'', p. 76 (italics in original).</ref> ''The New York Times'' hired Kathleen McLaughlin after ten years at the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'', where "[s]he did a series on maids, going out herself to apply for housekeeping jobs."<ref>Robertson, Nan, ''The Girls in the Balcony'', p. 61.</ref>

| |
| ''The New York Times'' has had one slogan. Since 1896, the newspaper's slogan has been "All the News That's Fit to Print."

| === Ochs-Sulzberger family ===
| |
| In 1896, Adolph Ochs bought ''The New York Times'', a money-losing newspaper, and formed the New York Times Company. The Ochs-Sulzberger family, one of the United States' newspaper dynasties, has owned ''The New York Times'' ever since.<ref name="nyt1881" /> The publisher [[Initial public offering|went public]] on January 14, 1969, trading at $42 a share on the [[American Stock Exchange LLC|American Stock Exchange]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/nysnp/nytlucey.htm|title=The New York Times: A Chronology: 1851-2010|last=Lucey|first=Bill|website=New York State Library|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170225020720/http://www.nysl.nysed.gov/nysnp/nytlucey.htm|archive-date=February 25, 2017|url-status=dead}}</ref> After this, the family continued to exert control through its ownership of the vast majority of Class B [[Voting interest|voting shares]].

| [[Turner Catledge]], the top editor at ''The New York Times'' from 1952 to 1968, wanted to hide the ownership influence. Arthur Sulzberger routinely wrote memos to his editor, each containing suggestions, instructions, complaints, and orders. When Catledge would receive these memos, he would erase the publisher's identity before passing them to his subordinates. Catledge thought that if he removed the publisher's name from the memos, it would protect reporters from feeling pressured by the owner.<ref>Chomsky, Daniel(2006) {{"'}}An Interested Reader': Measuring Ownership Control at the New York Times", ''Critical Studies in Media Communication'', 23(1): 1–18</ref>

| Unlike most U.S. daily newspapers, the ''Times'' relies on its own in-house [[stylebook]] rather than [[AP Stylebook|The Associated Press Stylebook]]. When referring to people, ''The New York Times'' generally uses [[honorific]]s rather than unadorned last names (except in the sports pages, pop culture coverage,<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://observer.com/2018/10/new-york-times-drops-pop-culture-honorifics/|title=New York Times (Sort of) Removes Honorifics From Pop Culture Stories|date=October 9, 2018|website=Observer|language=en|access-date=December 29, 2019}}</ref> Book Review and Magazine).<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://publiceditor.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/07/25/a-question-of-honorifics/|title=A Question of Honorifics|last=Hoyt|first=Clark|newspaper=The New York Times-Public Editor's Journal|language=en|access-date=January 26, 2017}}</ref>

| In August 2014, the ''Times'' decided to use the word "[[torture]]" to describe incidents in which interrogators "inflicted pain on a prisoner in an effort to get information." This was a shift from the paper's previous practice of describing such practices as "harsh" or "brutal" interrogations.<ref>{{cite news| last1=Byers| first1=Dylan| title=N.Y.

Then-''Times'' politics editor Carolyn Ryan said: "It's a rare thing for us to use this language in our stories, even in quotes, and we discussed it at length." Ryan said the paper ultimately decided to publish it because of its news value and because "[t]o leave it out or simply describe it seemed awkward and less than forthright to us, especially given that we would be running a video that showed our readers exactly what was said."<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.politico.com/story/2016/10/new-york-times-cnn-report-trumps-vulgarities-in-full-229330 |title=New York Times, CNN report Trump's vulgarities in full |work=Politico |date=October 7, 2016 |first=Hadas |last=Gold}}</ref>

Digital subscription rates for four weeks ranged from $15 to $35 depending on the package selected, with periodic new subscriber promotions offering four-week all-digital access for as low as 99¢. Subscribers to the paper's print edition got full access without any additional fee.

| |
| {{Undue weight section|date=July 2021}}
| |
| [[Walter Duranty]], who served as its Moscow bureau chief from 1922 through 1936, has been criticized for a series of stories in 1931 on the [[Soviet Union]] and won a Pulitzer Prize for his work at that time; however, he has been criticized for his denial of widespread famine, most particularly [[Holodomor]], a famine in Soviet Ukraine in the 1930s in which he summarized Russian propaganda, and the ''Times'' published, as fact: "Conditions are bad, but there is no famine".<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=ZXLhwVJvfXMC&q=The+food+shortage+which+has+affected+almost+the+whole+population+in+the+last+year%2C+and+particularly+in+the+grain-producing+provinces&pg=PA573 |title=Assignment in Utopia |last=Lyons |first=Eugene |publisher=Greenwood Press Reprint |access-date= April 23, 2012|isbn=978-1-4128-1760-8 |year=1938|page=573 }}</ref><ref name="ConqRav">Conquest, R. <u>Reflections on a Ravaged Century</u>.

| In 2003, after the Pulitzer Board began a renewed inquiry, the ''Times'' hired [[Mark von Hagen]], professor of Russian history at [[Columbia University]], to review Duranty's work. Von Hagen found Duranty's reports to be unbalanced and uncritical, and that they far too often gave voice to [[Stalinism|Stalinist]] [[propaganda]]. In comments to the press he stated, "For the sake of The New York Times' honor, they should take the prize away."<ref>[https://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2003-10-22-ny-times-pulitzer_x.htm "N.Y.

| After Ochs' death in 1935, his son-in-law Arthur Hays Sulzberger became the publisher of ''The New York Times'' and maintained the understanding that no reporting should reflect on ''The Times'' as a Jewish newspaper. Sulzburger shared Ochs' concerns about the way Jews were perceived in American society. His apprehensions about judgement were manifested positively by his strong fidelity to the United States. At the same time, within the pages of ''The New York Times,'' Sulzburger refused to bring attention to Jews, including the refusal to identify Jews as major victims of Nazi genocide. Instead, many reports of Nazi-ordered slaughter identified Jewish victims as "persons." ''The Times'' even opposed the rescue of Jewish refugees.<ref>{{cite book|title=Print to Fit, The New York Times, Zionism and Israel, 1896-2016|last=Auerbach | first=Jerold |publisher= Academic Studies Press|year=2019|pages=38–39|isbn=978-1-61811-898-1|location=Boston|author-link=Jerold Auerbach}}</ref>

| |
| On November 14, 2001, in ''The New York Times''{{'}} 150th-anniversary issue, in an article entitled "Turning Away From the Holocaust," former executive editor [[Max Frankel]] wrote:
| |
| <blockquote> And then there was failure: none greater than the staggering, staining failure of ''The New York Times'' to depict Hitler's methodical extermination of the Jews of Europe as a horror beyond all other horrors in World War II – a Nazi war within the war crying out for illumination.<ref name="Frankel">{{cite news|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2001/11/14/specials/onefifty/20FRAN.html|title=Turning Away From the Holocaust|last=Frankel | first=Max |date=November 14, 2001|work=The New York Times|author-link=Max Frankel}}</ref> </blockquote>
| |
| According to Frankel, harsh judges of ''The New York Times'' "have blamed 'self-hating [[Jews]]' and '[[anti-Zionists]]' among the paper's owners and staff." Frankel responded to this criticism by describing the fragile sensibilities of the Jewish owners of ''The New York Times'':
| |
| <blockquote> Then, too, papers owned by Jewish families, like ''The Times'', were plainly afraid to have a society that was still widely anti-Semitic misread their passionate opposition to Hitler as a merely parochial cause. Even some leading Jewish groups hedged their appeals for rescue lest they be accused of wanting to divert wartime energies.
| |
|
| |
| At ''The Times'', the reluctance to highlight the systematic slaughter of Jews was undoubtedly influenced by the views of the publisher, [[Arthur Hays Sulzberger]]. He believed strongly and publicly that Judaism was a religion, not a race or nationality – that Jews should be separate only in the way they worshiped. He thought they needed no state or political and social institutions of their own. He went to great lengths to avoid having ''The Times'' branded a ''Jewish newspaper.'' He resented other publications for emphasizing the Jewishness of people in the news.<ref name="Frankel"/></blockquote>
| |
| In the same article, Frankel quotes [[Laurel Leff]], associate professor of journalism at [[Northeastern University]], who in 2000 had described how the newspaper downplayed [[Nazi Germany]]'s targeting of [[Jew]]s for [[Holocaust|genocide]].<ref name="laurelleff">{{cite journal |last1=Leff |first1=Laurel |title=A Tragic "Fight in the Family": The New York Times, Reform Judaism and the Holocaust |journal=American Jewish History |date=March 2000 |volume=88 |issue=1 |pages=3–51 |doi=10.1353/ajh.2000.0016 |s2cid=162283819 |url=https://muse.jhu.edu/article/544 |access-date=24 July 2021 |issn=1086-3141}}</ref>
| |
| <blockquote>November 1942 was a critical month for American Jews. After several months of delay, the U.S. State Department had confirmed already published information that Germany was engaged in the systematic extermination of European Jews. Newspaper reports put the death toll at one million and described the "most ruthless methods," including mass gassings at special camps.<ref name="laurelleff" /></blockquote>
| |
| Yet at the beginning of November 1942, Sulzberger lobbied U.S. government officials against the founding of a homeland for Jews to escape to. The Times was silent on the matter of an increase in U.S. immigration quotas to permit more Jews to enter, and "actively supported the British Government's restriction on legal immigration to Palestine even as the persecution of Jews intensified".<ref name="laurelleff" /> Sulzberger described Jews as being of no more concern to Nazi Germany than Roman Catholic priests or Christian ministers, and that Jews certainly were not singled out for extermination.<ref name="laurelleff" />
| |
|
| |
| Leff's 2005 book ''[[Buried by the Times]]'' documents the paper's tendency before, during, and after [[World War II]] to place deep inside its daily editions the news stories about the ongoing persecution and extermination of Jews, while obscuring in those stories the special impact of the Nazis' crimes on Jews in particular. Leff attributes this dearth in part to the complex personal and political views of Sulzberger, concerning [[Jewishness]], [[antisemitism]], and [[Zionism]].<ref>{{cite book|title=Buried by the Times: The Holocaust and America's Most Important Newspaper|url=https://archive.org/details/buriedbytimeshol0000leff|url-access=registration|last=Leff|first=Laurel |publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=2005|isbn=978-0-521-81287-0|location=New York}}</ref>

| ===Accusations of liberal bias===
| |
| In mid-2004, the newspaper's then-public editor [[Daniel Okrent]], wrote an [[opinion piece]] in which he said that ''The New York Times'' did have a liberal bias in news coverage of certain social issues such as abortion and [[same-sex marriage]].<ref name="is it liberal?" /> He stated that this bias reflected the paper's [[cosmopolitanism]], which arose naturally from its roots as a hometown paper of New York City, writing that the coverage of the ''Times''{{'}}s Arts & Leisure; Culture; and the Sunday ''Times Magazine'' trend to the left.<ref name="is it liberal?" /><blockquote>If you're examining the paper's coverage of these subjects from a perspective that is neither urban nor Northeastern nor culturally seen-it-all; if you are among the groups The Times treats as strange objects to be examined on a laboratory slide (devout Catholics, gun owners, Orthodox Jews, Texans); if your value system wouldn't wear well on a composite New York Times journalist, then a walk through this paper can make you feel you're traveling in a strange and forbidding world.</blockquote>''Times'' public editor [[Arthur Brisbane]] wrote in 2012:<ref>Brisbane Arthur S., (August 25, 2012) [https://www.nytimes.com/2012/08/26/opinion/sunday/success-and-risk-as-the-times-transforms.html Success and Risk as The Times Transforms].</ref><blockquote>When The Times covers a national presidential campaign, I have found that the lead editors and reporters are disciplined about enforcing fairness and balance, and usually succeed in doing so. Across the paper's many departments, though, so many share a kind of political and cultural progressivism — for lack of a better term — that this worldview virtually bleeds through the fabric of The Times.</blockquote>''The New York Times'' [[public editor]] ([[ombudsman]]) Elizabeth Spayd wrote in 2016 that "Conservatives and even many moderates, see in The Times a [[Red states and blue states|blue-state]] worldview" and accuse it of harboring a liberal bias. Spayd did not analyze the substance of the claim but did opine that the ''Times'' is "part of a fracturing media environment that reflects a fractured country.
