COMPANY JOURNALISM CAREERS INVESTORS Menu COMPANY Mission and Values Photo by Kathy Ryan At The New York Times, our mission and values guide the work we do every day. By acting according to their spirit, we serve our readers and society, ensure the continued strength of our journalism and business, and foster a healthy and vibrant Times culture. Our Mission We seek the truth and help people understand the world. This mission is rooted in our belief that great journalism has the power to make each reader’s life richer and more fulfilling, and all of society stronger and more just. Our Values Independence Over a hundred years ago, The Times pledged “to give the news impartially, without fear or favor, regardless of party, sect, or interests involved.” That commitment remains true today: We follow the truth, wherever it leads. Integrity The trust of our readers is essential. We renew that trust every day through the actions and judgment of all our employees — in our journalism, in our workplace and in public. Curiosity Open-minded inquiry is at the heart of our mission. In all our work, we believe in continually asking questions, seeking out different perspectives and searching for better ways of doing things. Respect We help a global audience understand a vast and diverse world. To do that fully and fairly, we treat our subjects, our readers and each other with empathy and respect. Collaboration It takes creativity and expertise from people in every part of the company to fulfill our mission. We are at our best when we work together and support each other. Excellence We aim to set the standard in everything we do. The pursuit of excellence takes different forms, but in every context, we strive to deliver the very best.
