Job Overview The mission of The New York Times is to seek the truth and help people understand the world.
Independent journalism sits at the heart of all that we do, with a world‑renowned newsroom that sends reporters to cover events from nearly 160 countries.
We focus deeply on how our readers experience journalism—print, audio, digital, and app—and put our business strategy around making journalism worth paying for.
The New York Times is expanding its video journalism, identifying compelling visual stories across the depth and breadth of our reporting.
We showcase Times journalists on‑camera, share urgent news updates, produce on‑ground reporting, pioneer Visual Investigations, and create video podcasts.
