About The New York Times
The New York Times (NYT) is a national daily newspaper based in New York City. A newspaper of record, it is the second-largest newspaper by circulation and one of the longest-running newspapers in the United States. The New York Times is published by The Company, a publicly traded company; since 1896, the company has been chaired by the Ochs-Sulzberger family, including its current chairman and the paper’s publisher, A. G. Sulzberger.
The Times is headquartered at The New York Times Building in Manhattan. The covers domestic, national, and international news, and comprises opinion pieces, investigative reports, and reviews.
The Times was founded as the New York Daily Times in 1851 by New York Tribune journalists Henry Jarvis Raymond and George Jones as a conservative newspaper, assuming The New York Times name in 1896.
The Times actively sought to challenge William M. Tweed, the political boss of Tammany Hall, contributing to his 1873 arrest. The New York Times’s coverage of the Tweed Ring earned the paper national recognition. After financial difficulties in the years following the Panic of 1893, Chattanooga Times publisher Adolph Ochs gained a controlling interest in the company. Under Ochs, The New York Times experienced significant financial revitalization, expanding its scientific coverage and garnering international recognition. In 1905, the Times moved into the Times Tower on Times Square, later moving to 229 West 43rd Street.
