Newspapers often pride themselves as prodiving the “record” of news, critical events and information. So, how does a print publication of record fare in a modern environment where print seems to be becoming a vanishing breed?

Perhaps no single publishing entity has held the distinction of being the the “newspaper of record” than The New York Times.

Often referred to as the “Gray Lady” of journalism — called “gray” because it columns were filled to capacity with news and more news, befitting its motto of “all the news that’s fit to print.”
