History UsefulNotes / AmericanNewspapers

These two papers are widely considered to be the top of the journalistic profession in America, and you can expect any young reporter in fiction to dream of working at either one. In general, the ''Times'' does better in reporting international news, as well as arts and culture, while the ''Post'' is considered to be the go-to for political news. Both are often cited as being proof of the liberal bias of the press. The accuracy of this accusation is debated, and some observers disagree with it. The reporting of both is claimed by some to have a liberal (or at the very least, neoconservative) bias, but no one disputes that the editorial and op-ed pages do. (Case in point: the ''Times'' has not endorsed a Republican for President since 1956, and the ''Post'' has ''never'' endorsed a Republican for President.[[note]]The ''Post'' -- which was a relatively obscure local paper until it made its name breaking the Watergate Scandal -- did not generally make political endorsements prior to TheSeventies.[[/note]]) On that front the ''Times'' has several columnists, such as Paul Krugman and Maureen Dowd, who do tend to make conservatives' blood pressure rise.[[note]]What's often forgotten is that Dowd also caused ''liberal'' hypertension back in TheNineties thanks to her constant yammering about how UsefulNotes/{{Bill|Clinton}} was cheating on UsefulNotes/{{Hill|aryRodhamClinton}} and how she was too ambitious/weak-willed to do anything about it.[[/note]] On the other hand, they also boast right-of-center writers such as Ross Douthat, and the late William Safire, who in addition to his political column wrote a highly regarded column on the American English language for the Sunday edition for many years.[[note]]He occasionally dipped into other languages, as well; for instance, he thoroughly chastised the French Academy for adopting "Poutine" as the official French transcription of UsefulNotes/VladimirPutin's name; see EitherWorldDominationOrSomethingAboutBananas for details.[[/note]] Oh, and David Brooks. Both the ''Times'' and the ''Post'' (generally) try to play the role of the centrist voice of reason/Loyal Opposition in their editorial coverage (a role that the ''WSJ'' and ''USA Today'' have tended to fill sometimes as well in recent years), with the results that they irritate conservatives when a Republican president is in power and annoy liberals when a Democrat holds the White House. The ''NYT'' attracted [[https://www.nytimes.com/2014/06/16/us/politics/historians-critique-of-obama-foreign-policy-is-brought-alive-by-events-in-iraq.html international attention in 2014]] when one editorial openly criticized Obama's policies. The ''Post'' did get into a bit of a flap when several bloggers accused columnist Jennifer Rubin of being a Romney campaign mouthpiece in 2012, but this was understood to be an anomaly.

* ''Magazine/RollingStone'': Nowhere near as highbrow in its arts coverage as the others, nor as hard to find; its origins as a [[TheSixties '60s]] counterculture magazine is the reason for both. However, it gained a reputation over the course of TheSeventies for good in-depth investigative/political journalism--led by the "National Affairs Desk", aka Creator/HunterSThompson (who remains on the masthead--twice). After an extended DorkAge during which it was much less respected (including an embarrassing association with HairMetal), it gradually gained its reputation back, with reviewers well-respected and the National Affairs Desk being revived to former status with Matt Taibbi and a few others conducting hard-hitting reporting (it is also the only outlet to hire the aforementioned David Foster Wallace to do political reporting, who followed John [=McCain=] around during his first presidential run in 2000). As you might have guessed, center-left to liberal to ''very, very'' left (as in, calling investment banks like Goldman Sachs "a great vampire squid wrapped around the face of humanity, relentlessly jamming its blood funnel into anything that smells like money" left) in its political/investigative journalism. On the other hand, its music reviews, although good, can be almost embarrassingly behind the curve.

* The ''New York Post'' -- Founded by UsefulNotes/AlexanderHamilton in 1801, the ''Post'' has gone through a dizzying series of ownership and format changes, and holds the record for the oldest continually-published daily newspaper. While it had previously been known for having a liberal slant, since 1976 it's been owned by UsefulNotes/RupertMurdoch's News Corporation (except for a brief and extremely chaotic period in the late 80s/early 90s which the paper would rather forget[[note]]this was because of Murdoch buying the Metromedia station group and creating Creator/{{Fox}}; at the time, the FCC did not allow TV stations and newspapers in the same market, so Murdoch had to sell the ''Post''. He was granted a permanent waiver for cross-ownership when he re-purchased the ''Post'' in 1993[[/note]]), which turned it into a right-wing bastion. The ''Post'' is as sleazy and sensationalist as you can get while still technically remaining a newspaper (Brits, think a Noo Yawk-accented version of the ''[[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers Daily Mail]]'', or ''The Sun'' without the {{Page Three stunna}}s... though if the headline is saucy enough, they'll put the tits right into the story). The gossip section that Murdoch created after he took over, known simply as "Page Six" (though it [[ArtifactTitle hasn't been confined to that page]] for a long time), pretty much [[TropeMakers pioneered]] the modern style of celebrity reporting. Arch-rival to the ''Daily News'', a slightly less obscene NYC tabloid. (''Slightly.'') A great deal of overlap in readership with the ''Times'' (especially for their sports coverage), but most ''Times'' readers will not admit this. Mainly read as a sports paper, and for its infamously obnoxious headlines ("Headless Body Found in Topless Bar", which actually inspired the title of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headless_Body_in_Topless_Bar a film]]; "Masturbating Mugger Pulls Another One Off"), to the point where it has even published a book full of their most famous ones, though it's also known for less humorous front page images, such as when they ran a large photo of Music/JohnLennon at the morgue on its December 11, 1980 front page. Known to detractors as the "New York [=comPost=]". The paper is also [[NostalgiaFilter somewhat nostalgic for the days of Rudolph Giuliani]], [[TheBigRottenApple and even the days]] ''[[TheBigRottenApple before]]'' (now there are so many hipsters that business is quite hard for them). An UrbanLegend claims that Rupert Murdoch once asked the CEO of an upscale department store (apparently Bloomingdale's) why his company didn't advertise in the ''Post''. The CEO responded, [[http://articles.latimes.com/2003/jan/12/entertainment/ca-shaw12A "but Rupert, your readers are our shoplifters."]]

[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/200px-time_magazine_logo_svg_3935.png]]
* ''Time'' is the largest news magazine in the world, with over 45 million subscribers worldwide, less than half of whom are in the U.S. It is published weekly. They are famous for their annual "Person of the Year" award, which goes to whoever they feel had the greatest influence on world events; it was originally created in 1927 after getting flack for not putting Charles Lindbergh on the cover after his famous flight. The "person" may not necessarily be a living human being -- the award went to the personal computer in 1982, and to "The Endangered Earth" in 1989. Note that the award is not meant as an honor, but is simply given to whoever is deemed to have had most affected the course of the year, for good or ill -- winners in the past have included UsefulNotes/AdolfHitler (1938), UsefulNotes/JosefStalin ([[UsefulNotes/WorldWarII 1939 and 1942]]), and Ayatollah Khomeini (1979). This distinction is sometimes lost on people, who have often protested the granting of what they feel to be an "honor" to dictators and warmongers, and has led to some rather wishy-washy decisions since the 1980s, like making Rudy Giuliani Person of the Year in [[UsefulNotes/TheWarOnTerror 2001]] instead of UsefulNotes/OsamaBinLaden or "You" in 2006.

[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/tnr.png]]
* ''The New Republic'' (''TNR'' to its friends) is broadly center-left, having supported the Soviet Union in its early years, although it turned against it during the UsefulNotes/ColdWar once Soviet policy became more aggressive (while maintaining a similarly oppositional stance against [=McCarthyism=]). It moved to the right during Andrew Sullivan's tenure as editor in the '90s (including running an inflammatory article on race and intelligence at the height of the "Bell Curve" controversy), though it has since shifted back following his departure; on the other hand, Sullivan put forward the first argument in favor of gay marriage as the cover article in the August 28, 1989 issue of ''TNR''.[[note]]At the time, gay marriage was seen as laughable on both the right and the left--on the right because "marriage is for straight people. Also, the gays, ew." and on the left because...well...the gay community said "marriage is for straight people. ''Square'' straight people."[[/note]] Has generally supported a pro-interventionist foreign policy, to the irritation of many otherwise similar-minded liberals. Their editor from 1948 to 1956, Michael Straight, had worked as a spy for the KGB during the '30s. Originally a weekly magazine, it changed to a biweekly publication model in 2007. An ownership change in 2012 (TNR was bought by one of the co-founders of Facebook) and an editorial overhaul in 2014 resulted in a rather significant change to the magazine's philosophical bent, to the extent that it even ran a piece relentlessly examining and criticizing its own unpleasant history with racial issues.

[[quoteright:200:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/logoblack.png]]
* ''Harper's'': Like ''The New Yorker'', but with less prestige and a ''way'' more obvious -- and extreme -- liberal slant. Notoriously pessimistic at least since 2000--take the ''New Yorker'' off its antidepressants, and you have a fair image of ''Harper's''. Famously published several of Creator/DavidFosterWallace's short stories and non-fiction essays.
\\

* ''National Review'': A conservative biweekly magazine founded by William F. Buckley. It played a major role in shaping much of the policy of the "New Right" coalition that would eventually bring UsefulNotes/RonaldReagan into power, while simultaneously helping to purge American conservatism of its more odious elements (the anti-Semites, the Birchers and, starting in the '70s, the segregationists). It remains one of the most influential conservative news outlets around, though some of its editorial stances – notably against police brutality and in favor of Black Lives Matter – sets it apart from its kin.

National newspapers in the United States:

* The ''New York Daily News'' -- The arch-rival to the ''Post'', founded in 1919. Notorious as the paper of people who ride the New York City Subway (who found the tabloid format easier to handle in the 1920s). Perhaps slightly less tabloid than the ''Post'', as well as a more liberal counterpart (pretty much an American version of the UK's ''Daily Mirror'', though not as left-wing[[note]]They began as strongly conservative outlets and were briefly under common ownership in the early '90s, and until this day some ''Mirror'' and ''NYDN'' staffers swap papers. Also, there was a completely different New York paper that was actually called the ''Daily Mirror'', published by Hearst from 1924–63 as a diect competitor to the ''Daily News'' [[/note]]), it was known for being as slavishly pro-Bloomberg as the ''Post'' was known for its pro-Giuliani stance ([[EnemyMine they both hate Mayor De Blasio]]). It is also noted for advocating gun control and migrant reform more than any other paper in the country. The paper is also famous for its gigantic, almost full-page headlines--which are usually rather humorous, due to terseness and/or a {{pun}}--and more recently for its provocative and scathing front-page reports on tragedies, atrocities and controversial figures and statements. Despite being a regional paper, the ''Daily News'' has a surprisingly wide publishing range since New Yorkers can be found all over the country (they actually had a daily national edition in the 1990s). It was owned by the Tribune company until 1993 (except for a brief period in 1991 when it was co-owned by Robert Maxwell) when it was sold to real estate mogul... Mortimer Zuckerman, who in 2017 sold it back to Tribune Publishing for ''one dollar'', although Zuckerman briefly continued as publisher.

* ''Los Angeles Times'' -- Biggest paper on the West Coast, owned by the Tribune Company (named for the aforementioned ''Chicago Tribune''). Was once something of a nationally-renowned (albeit not necessarily nationally read) paper, but has taken a bad turn over the last fifteen years due to bad management from the Tribune Company. It is still noted for decent coverage of Hollywood and the entertainment industry and its news coverage of southern California. Previously owned by Times-Mirror [[note]]The ''Mirror'' was the ''Times''' evening edition which closed down in 1962[[/note]] before Tribune bought it in 2000. In 2018 was sold to local businessman Patrick Soon-Shiong[[note]]who was actually born in ''South Africa''.[[/note]].

* ''The Examiner'' -- Formerly known as the ''San Francisco Examiner'', it gained fame in the late 19th century by being an early example of sensationalism and muck-racking that eventually launched the Hearst empire. After becoming an evening paper in 1965 after an agreement with the rival ''Chronicle'', it lost prominence and Hearst Corp. sold the paper in 2000 (buying the ''Chron'' from the de Young family). The paper was acquired by the Fang family, which turned it into the modern-day freesheet in 2003. It was then sold to the Anschutz family's Clarity Media in 2004, the new owners establishing free dailies in Washington and Baltimore under the ''Examiner'' banner, although the former became a conservative magazine in 2013 and the latter shut down in 2009. The free ''Examiner'' (which was spun off from Clarity Media in 2011, being sold to administration) is generally thought as a 'wire service regurgitation' title as you can get. Mostly known on the Internet though for their website which publishes paid stories for many metro areas in the United States. The keyword sadly, being '''paid''', as the "stories" are often poorly written, barely sourced, sometimes plagiarized and in a few cases, even are pushed on forum sites for writers desperate for clicks; on quite a few sites like Wiki/TheOtherWiki, the Examiner site is blacklisted from being used as a reliable source.

* ''The New York Sun'', which was founded in 2002 by Canadian media mogul Conrad Black as an intentionally right-wing five-day daily (much like the Canadian ''National Post'', which he founded in 1997), taking its name from an older paper that went under in 1950 (more known for the ''[[SantasExistenceClause Yes, Virginia]], There is a SantaClaus'' editorial). Circulation was never high, being unable to compete with the ''Times'' and also being hit by Black's prosecution for embezzlement and tax fraud (which forced him to withdraw within a year) and the paper operated at a loss to try and build for several years. In a letter to readers published on the front page of the September 4, 2008 edition, it was announced that the paper would "cease publication at the end of September unless we succeed in our efforts to find additional financial backing." They didn't and publication ceased on September 30, becoming an online portal largely focusing on political news and conservative commentary (including from former owner Conrad Black).

* The ''Evening Graphic'' only ran for eight years (1924–1932), but along with its fellow tabloids the ''Daily News'' and ''Daily Mirror'' became a symbol of life in the Big Apple during TheRoaringTwenties. Owned by Bernarr Macfadden, a physical culture advocate, it published [[LuridTalesOfDoom every salacious story available]], even running doctored photos that pasted the faces of public figures over people re-enacting events they were involved in (with the 1926 divorce trial of "Daddy" and "Peaches" Browning becoming the most famous example). It also ran the "news" of recently-deceased actor Creator/RudolphValentino being greeted by Enrico Caruso and St. Peter ''at the pearly gates'' (maybe this was something to expect, since Macfadden also published a number of popular, though shamelessly sensationalist pulp magazines, including ''True Story''). It also became the basis for the hit 1930 play ''Five Star Final'' (written by a former employee of the paper) and its [[Film/FiveStarFinal 1931 film adaptation]], which featured Creator/EdwardGRobinson in one of his early [[StarMakingRole breakout roles]]. But its most lasting claim to fame might be the creation of the gossip column, with Walter Winchell and Ed Sullivan (yes, ''that'' [[Series/TheEdSullivanShow Ed Sullivan]]) both working for the paper until leaving for the ''Daily Mirror'' and ''Daily News'' respectively.

While it had previously been known for having a liberal slant, since 1976 it's been owned by UsefulNotes/RupertMurdoch's News Corporation (except for a brief and extremely chaotic period in the late 80s/early 90s which the paper would rather forget[[note]]this was because of Murdoch buying the Metromedia station group and creating Creator/{{Fox}}; at the time, the FCC did not allow TV stations and newspapers in the same market, so Murdoch had to sell the ''Post''.

Owned by Bernarr Macfadden, a physical culture advocate, it published [[LuridTalesOfDoom every salacious story possible]], even pasting the faces of public figures over people enacting "events" they were involved in, its pictures of the Browning divorce case in 1927 becoming its most famous. It also ran the "news" of recently deceased actor Rudolph Valentino being greeted by Enrico Caruso and St. Peter ''at the pearly gates'' (maybe this was something to expect, since Macfadden also published a number of popular, though shamelessly sensationalist pulp magazines, including ''True Story''). It also became the basis for the 1930 play ''Five Star Final'' (written by a former employee of the paper), [[Film/FiveStarFinal its 1931 film adaptation]] being one of Creator/EdwardGRobinson's [[StarMakingRole break-out roles]].

* The ''New York World Journal Tribune'' was not just a paper with a rather unwieldy name, but also a short-lived attempt to keep alive the city's remaining middle-class newspapers: the ''World-Telegram and Sun'', the ''Journal-American'', and the ''Herald Tribune''.[[note]]The first two were descendants of the original "yellow papers" of the 1890s, Joseph Pulitzer's ''World'' and William Randolph Hearst's ''Journal''; the third was the most respectable of the three and the originator of the Paris-based ''International Herald Tribune''--currently the international edition of the ''NYT''.[[/note]] For a number of reasons--not least a crippling 140-day strike by the newspaper unions that delayed its launch--it only lasted for eight months, between September of 1966 and May of 1967, with the ''Daily News'' becoming a SpiritualSuccessor of sorts, more or less by default. The last remnant of any of the papers that made up this one is the long-running reference book series ''The World Almanac and Book of Facts'', which was first published by the ''World'' in 1868 (hence the name) and kept around by ''World Journal Tribune'' owner Scripps from after the paper had ceased publication in 1967 until 1993, when they sold it to another publisher. It is currently distributed by Simon & Schuster.
* The ''Daily Mirror''--not to be confused with the British paper of the same name--was published by the Hearst Corporation from 1924 to 1963 as a direct competitor to the ''Daily News''. Among its better-known writers were Ring Lardner Jr. (the future screenwriter of ''Film/{{MASH}}'') and Drew Pearson.

It is also noted for advocating gun control and migrant reform more than any other paper in the country. The paper is also famous for its gigantic, almost full-page headlines, which are usually humorous due to terseness or a pun, and more recently for its provocative and scathing front-page reports on tragedies, atrocities and controversial figures and statements. Despite being a regional paper, the ''Daily News'' has a surprisingly wide publishing range since New Yorkers can be found all over the country (they actually had a daily national edition in the 1990s). It was owned by the Tribune company until 1993 (except for a brief period in 1991 when it was co-owned by Robert Maxwell) when it was sold to real estate mogul... Mortimer Zuckerman, who in 2017 sold it back to Tribune Publishing for ''one dollar'', although Zuckerman briefly continued as publisher.

* The ''Evening Graphic'' only ran for eight years (1924-1932), but it became a symbol of life in the Big Apple during TheRoaringTwenties. Owned by Bernarr Macfadden, a physical culture advocate, it published [[LuridTalesOfDoom every salacious story possible]], even pasting the faces of public figures over people enacting "events" they were involved in, its pictures of the Browning divorce case in 1927 becoming its most famous. It also ran the "news" of recently deceased actor Rudolph Valentino being greeted by Enrico Caruso and St. Peter ''at the pearly gates'' (maybe this was something to expect, since Macfadden also published a number of popular, though shamelessly sensationalist pulp magazines, including ''True Story''). It also became the basis for the 1930 play ''Five Star Final'' (written by a former employee of the paper), [[Film/FiveStarFinal its 1931 film adaptation]] being one of Creator/EdwardGRobinson's [[StarMakingRole break-out roles]]. But its largest claim to fame might be the creation of the gossip column, with Walter Winchell and Ed Sullivan (yes, ''that'' [[Series/TheEdSullivanShow Ed Sullivan]]) both working for the paper until leaving for the ''Daily Mirror'' and ''Daily News'' respectively.

* The ''New York World Journal Tribune'' was not just a paper with a rather unwieldy name, but also a short-lived attempt to keep alive the city's remaining middle-class newspapers: the ''World-Telegram and Sun'', the ''Journal-American'',and the ''Herald Tribune''.[[note]]The first two were descendants of the original "yellow papers" of the 1890s, Joseph Pulitzer's ''World'' and William Randolph Hearst's ''Journal''; the third was the most respectable of the three and the originator of the Paris-based ''International Herald Tribune''--currently the international edition of the ''NYT''[[/note]] It only lasted eight months, between September 1966 and May 1967, with the ''Daily News'' becoming an SpiritualSuccessor of sorts.

It is currently distributed by Simon & Schuster.

* ''New York Post'' -- Founded by Alexander Hamilton in 1801, the ''Post'' has gone through a dizzying series of ownership and format changes, and holds the record for the oldest continually-published daily newspaper. While it had previously been known for having a liberal slant, since 1976 it's been owned by UsefulNotes/RupertMurdoch's News Corporation (except for a brief and extremely chaotic period in the late 80s/early 90s which the paper would rather forget[[note]]this was because of Murdoch buying the Metromedia station group and creating Creator/{{Fox}}; at the time, the FCC did not allow TV stations and newspapers in the same market, so Murdoch had to sell the ''Post''. He was granted a permanent waiver for cross-ownership when he re-purchased the ''Post'' in 1993[[/note]]), which turned it into a right-wing bastion. The ''Post'' is as sleazy and sensationalist as you can get while still technically remaining a newspaper (Brits, think a Noo Yawk-accented version of the ''[[UsefulNotes/BritishNewspapers Daily Mail]]'', or ''The Sun'' without the {{Page Three stunna}}s... though if the headline is saucy enough, they'll put the tits right into the story). The gossip section that Murdoch created after he took over, known simply as "Page Six" (though it [[ArtifactTitle hasn't been confined to that page]] for a long time), pretty much [[TropeMakers pioneered]] the modern style of celebrity reporting. Arch-rival to the ''Daily News'', a slightly less obscene NYC tabloid. (''Slightly.'') A great deal of overlap in readership with the ''Times'' (especially for their sports coverage), but most ''Times'' readers will not admit this. Mainly read as a sports paper, and for its infamously obnoxious headlines ("Headless Body Found in Topless Bar", which actually inspired the title of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Headless_Body_in_Topless_Bar a film]]; "Masturbating Mugger Pulls Another One Off"), to the point where it has even published a book full of their most famous ones, though it's also known for less humorous front page images, such as when they ran a large photo of Music/JohnLennon at the morgue on its December 11, 1980 front page. Known to detractors as the "New York [=comPost=]". The paper is also [[NostalgiaFilter somewhat nostalgic for the days of Rudolph Giuliani]], [[TheBigRottenApple and even the days]] ''[[TheBigRottenApple before]]'' (now there are so many hipsters that business is quite hard for them). An UrbanLegend claims that Rupert Murdoch once asked the CEO of an upscale department store (apparently Bloomingdale's) why his company didn't advertise in the ''Post''. The CEO responded, [[http://articles.latimes.com/2003/jan/12/entertainment/ca-shaw12A "but Rupert, your readers are our shoplifters."]]

It is currently distributed by Simon & Schuster.

* ''Los Angeles Times'' -- Biggest paper on the West Coast, owned by the Tribune Company (named for the aforementioned ''Chicago Tribune''). Was once something of a nationally-renowned (albeit not necessarily nationally read) paper, but has taken a bad turn over the last fifteen years due to bad management from the Tribune Company. Still noted for decent coverage of Hollywood and the entertainment industry, and its star reporter Matt Pearce has a massive following on Twitter due to his professional-but-casual style of reporting. Previously owned by Times-Mirror[[note]]The ''Mirror'' was the ''Times''' evening edition which closed down in 1962[[/note]] before Tribune bought it in 2000. In 2018 was sold to local businessman Patrick Soon-Shiong[[note]]who was actually born in ''South Africa''.[[/note]].

* ''The Boston Globe'' -- The paper of record for the entirety of New England. It is currently owned by John Henry, the owner of the Boston Red Sox.[[note]]And much else; Henry's Fenway Sports Group also owns [[BritishFootyTeams Liverpool F.C.]], half of a UsefulNotes/{{NASCAR}} team, and UsefulNotes/LeBronJames' marketing rights, plus a whole bunch of other stuff besides.[[/note]] Well known for its Spotlight investigative journalism team, whose Pulitzer Prize-winning work investigating the sex abuse scandal in the city's Catholic churches was turned into an [[Film/{{Spotlight}} Oscar-winning film]]. In recent years, the ''Globe'' became one of the first major newspapers to publish a regular section dedicated to marijuana coverage, which launched alongside its recreational legalization in Massachusetts in 2018. Boston is also one of the last remaining two newspaper cities; The ''Globe'' shares Beantown with the older but less-read tabloid ''Boston Herald'' (It used to be considered a ''three''-paper town, with the alt-weekly ''Boston Phoenix'' being equally highly regarded, but it was shuttered in 2013).

* ''The New York Times'' -- Founded in 1851. Daily read of the East Coast intelligentsia, known as the "Old Grey Lady" (although since they've started printing in color it doesn't make sense anymore) and the "Newspaper of Record." The ''Times'' is one of the most famous and respected newspapers in the world, and has broken many important and historical stories over the years. Among its biggest scoops was this publication of the "Pentagon Papers," which was a classified government report on how the USA got into and ran the UsefulNotes/VietnamWar. The government tried to stop it from being published, but the courts ruled that the government had to show an extreme danger before the press could be stopped from publishing something. No [[NewspaperComics comics]], but the best crossword in the nation. The ''Times'' also owned the ''Boston Globe'' newspaper and a stake in the Red Sox (with both being sold in 2013). Despite its fame, it's still not recession-proof -- it began running ads on the front page in 2009. Despite nominally being a New York paper, a national edition of it is easily available in most parts of the country, if only by being the paper sold at most Starbucks (which also gives a hint as to [[BourgeoisBohemian its readership]]). It also publishes an international edition[[note]]Imaginatively titled ''The New York Times International Edition''. It was previously known as the ''International Herald Tribune'' and used to be a joint enterprise with ''The Washington Post''[[/note]] that is readily available around the world. A rarity in today's market, the ''Times'' is still a basically a family business, with a majority of shares controlled by the Ochs/Sulzberger family since 1896, with Mexican telecom tycoon Carlos Slim being the second-largest share-holder, setting a trend for billionaires to invest in (or downright buy) newspapers. They also used to own some TV stations in middle-sized markets, like WNEP 16 (ABC) in Scranton, PA; these stations were sold in 2007 to Oak Hill Capital Partners, forming the core of Local TV, LLC; they also acquired many ex New World/Fox-owned stations that Fox sold, like WJW-8 in Cleveland; as of 2014, Local TV has been bought out by the Tribune Company.

* The ''Village Voice'', founded in 1955 and so named for its long-time home in the Greenwich Village and East Village neighborhoods of Manhattan, was the United States' first alternative weekly newspaper and pioneered the magazine-style writing and culture coverage that would be found in later papers of that style. The ''Voice'' was the home of a cadre of well-known and respected culture writers, including influential music critic Robert Christgau, political columnist Nat Hentoff, food critic Robert Sietsema, nightlife and gossip writer Michael Musto, media critic Erik Wemple, sex columnist Rachel Kramer Bussel, and music writers Chuck Eddy and Maura Johnston. Nearly all of those writers were laid off by the paper between 2006 and 2013 during a period of volatility and changing owners, and the paper itself saw its once sterling reputation in the journalism industry crater as new owners filled its pages with more dubious content. The ''Voice'' was closed in 2018 and its website very rarely published new material for several years. It was revived as a monthly publication under new ownership in April 2021, with only Musto returning from its best-known stable of writers.

* ''The Atlantic'' (formerly ''The Atlantic Monthly''): Founded by no lesser minds than Creator/RalphWaldoEmerson and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (with the motto "of no party or clique") in ''[[LongRunners 1857]]''--so old that it was the vehicle for the original publication of "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" (you know, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p5mmFPyDK_8 the one that goes]] "Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord..."). It's had something of a turbulent history and its political position has varied wildly. ''The Atlantic'' today is known as a moderately center-right outlet--but as the Republican Party has turned more to the right and populism, it and its readers have found themselves increasingly siding with its counterparts at the more liberal magazines as the common cause of maintaining an intellectual tradition comes to outweigh partisan loyalty. The identification with the right isn't helped by its bloggers, one of whom has long been arch-lefty Ta-Nehisi Coates, and with the addition of Peter Beinart (quite the liberal) in 2014,[[note]]Beinart is interesting as well for being a Jewish critic of Israel who identifies as Zionist; his position on Israel isn't "You're bad!" but rather "Look, Israel is wonderful and a great idea, but this business with the settlements and mistreatment of the Palestinians is completely undemocratic, illiberal, and, dare I say it, un-Jewish. Also, it's ultimately bad for Zionism. Let's end this nonsense and sign a deal."[[/note]] it's only going further away from that characterization.
