Journalists

Staff writers are expected to ensure the veracity of all written claims, but may delegate researching obscure facts to the research desk.^[126] In March 2021, the Times established a committee to avoid journalistic conflicts of interest with work written for The New York Times, following columnist David Brooks's resignation from the Aspen Institute for his undisclosed work on the initiative Weave.^[127]

The New York Times editorial board was established in 1896 by Adolph Ochs. With the opinion department, the editorial board is independent of the newsroom.^[167] Then-editor-in-chief Charles Ransom Miller served as opinion editor from 1883 until his death in 1922.^[168] Rollo Ogden succeeded Miller until his death in 1937.^[169] From 1937 to 1938, John Huston Finley served as opinion editor; in a prearranged plan, Charles Merz succeeded Finley.^[170] Merz served in the position until his retirement in 1961.^[171] John Bertram Oakes served as opinion editor from 1961 to 1976, when then-publisher Arthur Ochs Sulzberger appointed Max Frankel.^[172] Frankel served in the position until 1986, when he was appointed as executive editor.^[173] Jack Rosenthal was the opinion editor from 1986 to 1993.^[174] Howell Raines succeeded Rosenthal until 2001, when he was made executive editor.^[175] Gail Collins succeeded Raines until her resignation in 2006.^[176] From 2007 to 2016, Andrew Rosenthal was the opinion editor.^[177] James Bennet succeeded Rosenthal until his resignation in 2020.^[178] As of July 2024^[update], the editorial board comprises thirteen opinion writers.^[179] The New York Times's opinion editor is Kathleen Kingsbury^[180] and the deputy opinion editor is Patrick Healy.^[115]

The New York Times's editorial board was initially opposed to liberal beliefs, opposing women's suffrage in 1900 and 1914. The editorial board began to espouse progressive beliefs during Oakes' tenure, conflicting with the Ochs-Sulzberger family, of which Oakes was a member as Adolph Ochs's nephew; in 1976, Oakes publicly disagreed with Sulzberger's endorsement of Daniel Patrick Moynihan over Bella Abzug in the 1976 Senate Democratic primaries in a letter sent from Martha's Vineyard. Under Rosenthal, the editorial board took positions supporting assault weapons legislation and the legalization of marijuana, but publicly criticized the Obama administration over its portrayal of terrorism.^[177] In presidential elections, The New York Times has endorsed a total of twelve Republican candidates and thirty-two Democratic candidates, and has endorsed the Democrat in every election since 1960.^[181]^[182]^{[lower-alpha 10]} With the exception of Wendell Willkie, Republicans endorsed by the Times have won the presidency. In 2016, the editorial board issued an anti-endorsement against Donald Trump for the first time in its history.^[183] In February 2020, the editorial board reduced its presence from several editorials each day to occasional editorials for events deemed particularly significant. Since August 2024, the board no longer endorses candidates in local or congressional races in New York.^[184]

Unionization

Since 1940, editorial, media, and technology workers of The New York Times have been represented by the New York Times Guild. The Times Guild, along with the Times Tech Guild, are represented by the NewsGuild-CWA.^[185] In 1940, Arthur Hays Sulzberger was called upon by the National Labor Relations Board amid accusations that he had discouraged Guild membership in the Times. Over the next few years, the Guild would ratify several contracts, expanding to editorial and news staff in 1942 and maintenance workers in 1943.^[186] The New York Times Guild has walked out several times in its history, including for six and a half hours in 1981^[187] and in 2017, when copy editors and reporters walked out at lunchtime in response to the elimination of the copy desk.^[188] On December 7, 2022, the union held a one-day strike,^[189] the first interruption to The New York Times since 1978.^[190] The New York Times Guild reached an agreement in May 2023 to increase minimum salaries for employees and a retroactive bonus.^[191] The Times Tech Guild is the largest technology union with collective bargaining rights in the United States.^[192]
