As far as I know, they are one of the few big media outlets to support https. So yes, this should have been done earlier, but kudos to them for pioneering this in their field and for publishing a short instruction manual for whoever else is planning this.
I'm not surprised that they are worried about the financial impact of https on their (very modest) revenue. It's a big investment for an industry struggling financially.

- thinkMOAR 10y agoI don't consider a SSL certificate as a big investment? There is no ROI on ssl usage. Nor do they break the bank; There is a 'not running away because you don't' return, which in the end hurt more. NY times SSL capable since 2014, also late, but already 2 years earlier then this website.
