Spammer User:David J Johnson refuses to provide a source that indicates minority shareholder is the controller of the New York Times and is stepping near violation of 3 revert rule as well as conflict of interest. Ferociouslettuce ( talk) 22:49, 26 January 2017 (UTC)
After reading this article I realized that some of the facts that seem quite essential to this article are actually mentioned without any reference to a citation. For example, it states that The New York Times Company reported revenues of $3.4 billion to its investors in the year 2005. However, this especially important detail lacks any reference that backs up this claim. Consequently, it may be worth checking out to ensure that people with ties to the company aren't just painting the business in a better light. Most of the facts are referenced with citations, although often these citations are repeatedly from the same or similar sources which puts the credibility of the article in question by increasing the potential for bias.
The article talks significantly about the company's financial proceedings, particularly between the years of 2003 and 2013 however, I would've certainly liked to see more on their specific goals for news and the standards they set for their articles. As a publication company, I was hoping to see more on the literary values they endorse and learn about what makes news and articles from The New York Time truly different from other reputable news outlets. Considering that the article mentions more of the financial and economic history of the company, there isn't much dedicated to the actual journalism, the readers, or the sorts of news they report on. The New York Times Company's viewpoints on news, media, and journalism are extremely underrepresented in this article as it seems to primarily detail the historical and business-related history of the company rather than the news and headlines the company supplies to millions throughout the USA.
Upon reviewing the article's sources, there doesn't seem to be any plagiarism in this article and the sources do function as intended. As mentioned before, at times many facts regarding business transactions and financial reports are cited with the same or similar source, and this just causes some speculation as to whether this article truly showcases an unbiased view on the company and its value. There seem to certain points that were stated that could've possibly been skewed slightly to enhance the perception of the company's assets and their net worth. None of the information seems to really be out of date however, a greater variety of sources and more information on the news and journalism aspect of the company should definitely be added.
My two questions in regards to this article are:
Why does the article make a concerned effort to not provide information regarding the company's development and viewpoints on news and journalism?
Why does the article mention virtually nothing in regards to the types of news publications and/or news media that are under The New York Times Company? Aditya P ( talk) 16:43, 15 February 2017 (UTC) Aditya P 2/15/2017
This edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered. |
Meredith Kopit Levien will succeed Mark Thompson as president and chief executive officer, effective Sept. 8. She will join The Times Company's board and Mr. Thompson will step down as an officer and director of The Times Company ( source). Can an editor please update these pages appropriately?
I should note, I am submitting this request on behalf of The New York Times Company as part of my work at Beutler Ink. I've submitted similar requests at Talk:Meredith Kopit Levien and Talk:Mark Thompson (media executive), and I've disclosed my COI on all talk pages.
Thanks! Inkian Jason ( talk) 14:54, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
Concern is the compromised vitaè on sources of information that have become valueless under Wikipedia. Therefore, I’ve had to go elsewhere for reliability 66.74.145.39 ( talk) 19:00, 22 December 2021 (UTC)
The history section jumps from the founding in 1851 to some minor acquisitions over 100 years later in the 90s. Where's all the history? I'm not an expert but NYT has been a highly influential news outlet for longer than just the last 30 years. 2607:FEA8:8600:34F:C0D4:264D:BD81:B571 ( talk) 16:40, 27 October 2022 (UTC)
