The article's title says "New York Times", but the article itself says "New York Times Magazine". They're completely different publications...

I think the magazine is a Sunday insert from the same company.

I think completely different publications is a bit exaggerated. According to wiki: "The New York Times Magazine is a Sunday magazine supplement included with the Sunday edition of The New York Times. It is host to feature articles longer than those typically in the newspaper and has attracted many notable contributors." I also was curious as to how supplement was defined within the context of publishing and again according to wiki: "A supplement is a publication that has a role secondary to that of another preceding or concurrent publication. A follow-on publication complements its predecessor, either by bringing it up to date (e.g. the Index Catalogue), or by otherwise enhancing the predecessor's coverage of a particular topic or subject matter, as in the Tosefta." In my opinion the difference is insignificant.

  They don't seem to share staff though, at least not on the editor level, compare: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/admin/the-new-york-times-masthead.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/admin/the-new-york-... and https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/magazine/masthead.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/magazine/masthead.html There's also the obvious difference that one is a newspaper and the other is a magazine; I think it's just a bit unclear what is being meant when they claimed they are "different publications".

uhhhhh.... it's an insert in the sunday times. served up alongside the times on the website. created by the publisher of the times. I suppose you could get technical and say it's an independent publication that is housed within another publication... but that would be pedantic to the point of meaninglessness.

  Why? There are a host of obvious physical and content differences between a newspaper and a magazine, with the newspaper broadsheet being about twice as wide as the magazine for example[1]. I suppose if you ignore the differences between the print versions you get closer to a purely pedantic distinction, but really I think the problem is that the measure of difference is unclear. 1: https://nytmediakit.com/index.php?p=specs/magazine/standard-sizes https://nytmediakit.com/index.php?p=specs/magazine/standard-...

    the magazine is only delivered within the NY Times Sunday issue. it can't be purchased inpendently. In the URL on the NY Times site, it's listed as a section: https://www.nytimes.com/section/magazine https://www.nytimes.com/section/magazine

When I had a subscription to the NYTimes, the NYTimes Magazine was included in every sunday paper. So not quite "different publications".
