The New York Times Company is the publisher behind one of the United States' most widely read newspapers and a growing portfolio of digital apps that extend its journalism into news, puzzles, cooking and sports. Best known for the flagship NYTimes app, the company offers national and global reporting, investigative coverage and opinion through mobile and web platforms. Over the past decade it has shifted revenue toward subscriptions and diversified into specialty products that reach distinct audiences.
Its app lineup includes NYTimes: US and Global News for general audiences, NYT Cooking for recipes and meal planning, and NYT Games — home to the Crossword, Spelling Bee and the cultural phenomenon Wordle. In 2022 the company expanded its sports coverage by acquiring The Athletic, now available as a dedicated app delivering long-form reporting and team-specific journalism. Together these apps reflect a strategy of producing focused, subscription-supported experiences rather than relying solely on advertising.
Notable achievements include sustained growth in digital subscriptions, mainstreaming casual word games through NYT Games, and turning NYT Cooking into a trusted resource for home cooks. The company maintains separate support channels and product roadmaps for different verticals, which is apparent from the distinct branding and user experiences across its apps. Contact and support information for The Athletic is listed as [email protected], and their shared apps portal is at https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/.
