For anyone claiming NYT quality has gone downhill should try and read this article: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/05/08/arts/design/dutch-still-life.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2022/05/08/arts/design/d... This article has single handedly ignited my interest in arts and paintings. This is just an example but in general what I find great about NYT is the way they do storytelling with mixture of interactive visualization and text-based news and facts.

I read this article and a week later came across one of his works (with the signature lemon peel!) at the Met. Would not have been able to recognize him without it. I love how the NYT experiments with different mediums, like their weekly friday news quiz, their stellar cooking app, the crosswords, and now these little art explorations

Their tech is quite decent and open source too: https://github.com/nytimes https://github.com/nytimes I think the BBC does something similar as well: https://github.com/bbc/ https://github.com/bbc/

NYT's visual journalism team is top-notch.

This was great! IMO the NYT really shines with their arts/culture sections! Makes the subscription worth it for me personally. I do feel like their politics/opinion sections have gone downhill. But every now and then they do a long-form article which convinces me to re-subscribe for a year. This one was incredible: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/22/world/asia/the-jungle-prince-of-delhi.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/22/world/asia/the-jungle-pri...

  Yes I do subscribe to their Upshot and Weekender newsletters. The weekender especially shows the breadth and depth of great NYT journalism.

Their visual journalism is some of the best in the industry and often gets overshadowed by the print shenanigans.
