The new york times marks its 175th anniversary this week, the paper says, running a special interactive series and archival projects as part of the September celebration.
On its anniversary hub, The New York Times describes the milestone as a moment to examine “fairness, accuracy and independent eyewitness journalism,” according to the site’s event landing page announcing the 175th coverage.
The company has staged public acknowledgments tied to the milestone: the New York Stock Exchange hosted an opening-bell welcome for The New York Times Company on Sept. 17, 2026, marking the 175th anniversary, according to the NYSE’s event video and social posts.
The new york times has also rolled out an archives-driven series titled “Share the Times Pages You Couldn’t Throw Away,” which the paper said will draw on its back catalog as part of the anniversary programming.
The anniversary content spans a multimedia interactive on the paper’s site and promotional features from advertising and corporate communications that note the founding year and planned events, including advertiser thank-you pages dated Sept. 18, 2026.
Readers can expect curated archival pieces and thematic reporting across the Times’s news and opinion sections during the anniversary period, the paper’s coverage plan states on the anniversary hub.
Why it matters: the new york times’s 175th frames a moment for reflection on legacy media’s role in public life, and the company is using both archival reporting and public-facing events to spotlight that history and its current newsroom priorities.
Inside the business beat, the NYSE welcome on Sept. 17 shows how corporate and market institutions mark media anniversaries; the exchange posted a video and statement celebrating The New York Times Company’s longevity and leadership in news.
