Citation formats

A 2022 survey found that 24 percent of Americans believe The New York Times (NYT) to be a very credible source of news and information through its print and digital publications. Just 14 percent seriously doubted the credibility of The New York Times, though a further 10 percent had some reservations about the publication, considering it to be somewhat uncredible.

The New York Times

The New York Times is one of the most widely read newspapers in the United States and has been a fixture of American print news for over 150 years. The publication has won far more Pulitzer Prizes than any other media company in U.S. history, with its first being awarded for its coverage of World War I, and more recently has been recognized for its investigative dives into gender and race dynamics in the United States.

In addition to generally high perceptions of the publication’s trustworthiness among U.S. citizens, most Americans also find it to be accurate in its reporting. When it comes to business, The NYT has been one of the most successful brands in terms of transitioning from print to digital media offerings, with over five million digital-only subscribers as of early 2021.
