I don't think the NYT aspires to be a paper of record anymore. I'm not sure it's even possible now. The newspaper of record may have been an artifact of the print era, when newspapers wanted everyone in some region as a subscriber, and thus had to at least seem neutral.
Now that newspapers get their revenue from online subscriptions, being neutral is not only unnecessary, but would harm them. Outrage is the biggest driver of clicks, and the things that outrage the left have no overlap with those that outrage the right.
By switching to subscriptions, the former newspapers of record have essentially become newsletters for the like-minded. As far as I know they've all opted to move left, which was to be expected, since the reporters leaned that way even in the print era.
When it was print, wasn't it by definition subscriptions (plus newsstand)?
On a side note, most of the online subscritpion models emulate the traditional print subscription models. This is heavily due to the lack of digital infrastructure (platform), lack of tech expertise, and mostly, boards pressure to keep print alive.
The opportunity to create a dynamic subscription model is up for grabs, but no publisher has gone for it yet as their mindset is still on bottom line revenues (the best of a bad system) Google’s working on it with AMP - online publishing will be revolutionised in about 18 months
agree w/ Paul. In the 20th century, newspapers were in the department store-advertising business. Now they're in the subscription biz. Readers are more partisan than department stores, and we should expect news media's ideological shift to reflect its business model change.pic.twitter.com/nqgBwGtxP8
