The New York Times (known informally as NYT) is an American daily newspaper based

in New York City with a worldwide readership. [5][6] It was founded in 1851 by Henry Jarvis
Raymond and George Jones, and was initially published by Raymond, Jones & Company.
[7]
 The Times has won 132 Pulitzer Prizes, the most of any newspaper,[8] and has long been
regarded as a national "newspaper of record".[9] It is ranked 18th in the world by
circulation and 3rd in the U.S.[10]
The paper is owned by The New York Times Company, which is publicly traded. It has been
governed by the Sulzberger family since 1896, through a dual-class share structure after its
shares became publicly traded.[11] A. G. Sulzberger and his father, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger Jr.—
the paper's publisher and the company's chairman, respectively—are the fifth and fourth
generations of the family to head the paper. [12]
Since the mid-1970s, The New York Times has expanded its layout and organization, adding
special weekly sections on various topics supplementing the regular news, editorials, sports,
and features. Since 2008,[13] the Times has been organized into the following
sections: News, Editorials/Opinions-Columns/Op-Ed, New York
(metropolitan), Business, Sports, Arts, Science, Styles, Home, Travel, and other features.[14] On
 Sundays, the Times is supplemented by the Sunday Review (formerly the Week in Review),
[15]
 The New York Times Book Review,[16] The New York Times Magazine,[17] and T: The New
York Times Style Magazine.[18] The editorial pages of The New York Times are
typically liberal in their positions.[19][20]

The New York Times was founded as the New-York Daily Times on September 18, 1851.

Jones, the Times was initially published by Raymond, Jones & Company. [22] Early investors in
the company included Edwin B. Morgan,[23] Christopher Morgan,[24] and Edward B. Wesley.

 Sold for a penny (equivalent to $0.33 in 2021), the inaugural edition attempted to address
various speculations on its purpose and positions that preceded its release: [26]
We shall be Conservative, in all cases where we think Conservatism essential to the public
good;—and we shall be Radical in everything which may seem to us to require radical
treatment and radical reform. We do not believe that everything in Society is either exactly right
or exactly wrong;—what is good we desire to preserve and improve;—what is evil, to
exterminate, or reform.
In 1852, the newspaper started a western division, The Times of California, which arrived
whenever a mail boat from New York docked in California. The effort failed once local
California newspapers came into pro
