The New York Times is one of the world’s most recognizable news organizations, known for its reporting, investigations, opinion coverage, and culture and lifestyle journalism. Founded in 1851, it has evolved from a print-first newspaper into a subscription-led digital media company with a broad product portfolio that includes News, Games, Cooking, The Athletic, Wirecutter, audio, and more.

That shift matters for readers and marketers alike. NYT’s business today is powered primarily by paid subscriptions, with digital products driving most of the growth. Below you’ll find the most reliable New York Times stats available, focused on company-reported figures and clearly labeled historical context.
