## Company history

The *New-York Daily Times* published its first issue on September 18, 1851, founded by Henry Jarvis Raymond and George Jones. Adolph Ochs acquired the newspaper in 1896 and established its commitment to independent, impartial reporting; the motto “All the News That’s Fit to Print” followed in 1897. In 1918, the newspaper received the Pulitzer Prize for Public Service for publishing official reports, documents and speeches concerning the war. [28](https://www.nytco.com/press/the-new-york-times-rings-the-opening-bell-to-celebrate-175-years/)[5](https://www.nytco.com/history/)[29](https://www.pulitzer.org/prize-winners-by-year/1918)

The company expanded beyond print into digital publishing with the launch of NYTimes.com in 1996, and introduced digital subscriptions in 2011. It broadened its digital offerings with NYT Cooking in 2014 and acquisitions including Wirecutter and The Sweethome in 2016 and The Athletic in 2022. The company also divested businesses during this period, including its regional media group and About.com in 2012.
