Founded by journalist and politician Henry Jarvis Raymond and former banker George Jones, the Times was initially published by Raymond, Jones & Company. The New York Times to avoid sensationalism and report the news in a restrained and objective fashion.

At that time, it attracted many intellectuals because of its noble character. But in the subsequent competition in New York City, Noble did not play any role. The Times raised prices, but still lost $1,000 a week.

Until Adolph Simon Ochs bought The Times in 1896, With the help of Carr Van Anda, an editor he hired from the New York Sun. The news focused more on comprehensive reporting of daily news, and the fiction section of the newspaper was removed, becoming a Sunday magazine section. And set the price back to a penny.

In April 1912, the sinking of the Titanic, an original and comprehensive report in The Times, captivated many readers. and then two world wars, The Times still reported current events, Enhanced The Times' world news reputation.

In 1972, The publication of the “Pentagon Papers” brought the Times a Pulitzer Prize.

Later in the 1970s, Arthur Ochs Sulzberger overhauls the newspaper's organizational structure and staff, and uses satellite transmissions to regional printing houses for national editions.

In 1995 launching an online edition and employing color photography in its print edition in 1997.

In 2005, a subscription service called TimesSelect.(A fee is required). Closed after two years, all news is open to the public. In 2006, The Times launched an electronic version, Times Reader, where subscribers can download the current print edition. 

In 2011, The New York Times instituted a subscription plan for its digital edition, limiting free access to content.

It can be seen from this period of history that the historical experience of The Times is still full of risks. Because the world is changing. To survive and keep their readers, they made many decisions. Although this decision may not be correct, the Times has always been brave enough to try. This has created a newspaper with worldwide influence.
