Don't feel bad, it's a regional thing. In San Francisco, if someone says "The Times" I also assume NYT. But, for example, folks nearer LA, think the LA Times. A lab mate and I joked about making a visualization along these lines (and the more common "Which city is 'The City'?").
Now I'm curious if the Seattle Times is a big enough deal to supplant NYT (presumably yes)...
- icelancer 11y agoNot really. Been out here 10 years and "The Times" tends to refer to NYT. Seattle Times is referred to in full generally; the only other competing paper (now dead) was referred to as the PI (post intelligencer). At least in the circles I ran in, which was mostly finance/tech.
