"New York Times--Today's News"

New York Times--Lead Stories - In spite of recent upheavals in its newsroom, the Times is still the best general newspaper in the country. Its web site, which has won numerous journalism and internet awards, provides online versions of current stories. Breaking news appears throughout the day.

New York Times--International News - For a quick overview of world news, this page offers a compelling combination of news reporting and lighter features.

New York Times--National News - Although it's called the New York Times, the newspaper focuses as much--if not more--on national news stories as it does on local items. The city's tabloids like to think of city news--especially about the boroughs outside of Manhattan--as their turf.

New York Times--Washington & Political News - Along with national stories, the Washington news beat is where the Times has often distinguished itself.

New York Times--Regional News - For important local stories--from pollution on Long Island to the Ground Zero reconstruction--the Times provides in-depth coverage of the big stories. The Voice and Observer may sometimes scoop it, and the tabloids may give better scandal and crime, but the NYT is still an essential read.

"New York Times--The Sections"

New York Times--Business - With such good writers as Gretchen Morgenson, Floyd Norris, and Geraldine Fabrikant covering the markets and corporate sagas, this section offers a compact overview of the big stories. Media and advertising are another highlight. The human-interest business stories make for fun reading.

New York Times--Technology - The Times reports on technology the way the History Channel covers Egypt--medium-light on the complexity, high on the wow factor. You do come away informed. The main thrust here is technology in every day life--and the technical background to front-page news stories.

New York Times--Science - The Times has a long tradition of popular-science writing that keeps the geekiness under control and the news context up front. A story about the discovery of ancient skulls, for example, focuses on the historical significance of closing the link between prehumans and modern humans.

New York Times--Arts - Full of reviews and features about theater, movies, books, music, gallery openings, dance, museum shows, and the rest, the Arts pages cover a wide swath of cultural territory. Even those critical of the depth, however, will still stop in to take a look--just to see "what the Times says."

"The Sunday Magazine, Book Review, Crosswords, & More"

The New York Times Magazine - The weekly Magazine leaps over the immediate news headlines to focus on the human-interest angle and serious issues. The topics are as wide ranging as you'll find in the newspaper. The online version of the magazine expands on the print pub by adding some multimedia features, such as slide shows.

The Sunday Book Review - The Review gives you a glimpse at some of the more important new releases each week. Although they often quibble with a particular review or a missed opportunity to cover a writer's work, serious book people still visit it religiously. You can also link to back issues and the daily reviews.

Travel--Sophisticated and Otherwise - A good place to take a nip of wanderlust. You'll find personal-experience articles about retreats in Norway and beaches in Costa Rica. The domestic and international destination guides offer useful collections of these reports, rather than Fodors-like listings of restaurants, lodgings, and sites.

Crosswords and Games - The daily puzzle is only available with a premium membership, but the site posts a free crossword from the archives every Monday. Members of the crossword forum discuss the daily puzzle. This page also includes chess and bridge columns.

"New York Times--The Company"

"New York Times and Journalism"

A Letter to the New Times Editor Bill Keller - Journalist Gregory Favre wrote this column of advice for the new head of the Times. The Blair Affair represents only the close of 21 months of turmoil in the newsroom, not the whole story. To repair the damaged done, Keller will need to be as good a manager as he is an editor.

The Howell Doctrine--By Ken Auletta - This profile of Howell Raines, the recently departed Executive Editor of the Times was published almost exactly one year before his resignation over the Blair Affair. Written by one of the best media observers, the piece provides an informed view of a complicated and controversial editor.

Readers Want to Know: Why Can't the Press Be Fair? - The American Society of Newspaper Editors sponsored a workshop for journalists on why readers question the fairness of the press. Although participants don't single out the Times for bias, the paper does come up several times and two of the panelists did write for the paper. Strong views abound.

Joe Lelyveld--Profile of Former and Interim Executive Editor - Ken Auletta's profile of Executive Editor Howell Raines' predecessor--and his temporary successor originally appeared in 1994.
