Third-Party Descriptions

March 2013: "Mr. Abrams, who represented The New York Times in the Pentagon Papers case, has argued that both Daniel Ellsberg, who provided the documents to the newspaper, and The Times acted with far more restraint and responsibility than Private Manning and WikiLeaks have, and that both have repeatedly behaved with a devil-may-care obliviousness to genuine national security interests."

December 2012: 'Mr. Marzorati noted that with every innovation in Times history – whether starting new features sections three decades ago, or bringing the statistics guru Nate Silver on board recently — “there are always people who say: ‘My God, you can’t do that. It’s not us.’ ” In time, the ventures are well accepted.'

April 2010: "By appearing on stage at the Apple event and by launching an iPad app that the Times wants to monetize in every possible way — an app from which Apple will likely make money as well — the Times is becoming more of a business partner with a company it covers incessantly. And when Apple promoted the Times so visibly before the in-store selling date of the iPad, given the millions of people who visit Apple’s home page each month, it was giving the Times a huge boost."

April 2009: "In essence, The A.P. has taken on the role of acting as a representative for the entire industry, particularly the newspapers — including The New York Times and virtually all large newspapers — that are the group’s owners. Some owners have rebelled against The A.P. in the last year, protesting that it charges them too much."

http://www.nytimes.com/2009/04/07/business/media/07paper.html

June 2008: 'The establishment news media were faulted too. The New York Times wrote about Mrs. Clinton’s “cackle” and The Washington Post wrote about her cleavage.'

http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/13/us/politics/13women.html

May 2007: "David E. McCraw, a lawyer for The New York Times, said Hewlett-Packard’s spying operations were “designed to interfere with our journalism and, ultimately, to deprive our readers of information of importance to them.”"

http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/07/business/07lotto.html

October 2007: The problems, described in 91 audit reports reviewed by The New York Times, include the improper termination of coverage for people with H.I.V. and AIDS, huge backlogs of claims and complaints, and a failure to answer telephone calls from consumers, doctors and drugstores.
