Diversity and Inclusion
The New York Times is guided by a simple but powerful mission: to seek the truth and help people understand the world.
A diverse, inclusive workplace is essential to that mission. Our journalists reported on the ground in more than 160 countries last year. Our journalism reaches 150 million readers each month. To ensure we tell and share stories with respect, empathy and accuracy, we are committed to fostering a diverse staff that reflects the society we report on. And we’re committed to giving our people a workplace that feels inclusive and rewarding to all.
Life at The Times
People come to The Times to contribute to a worthy mission, and to work alongside incredible colleagues who excel in their craft. We also offer a number of benefits and programs that help to create a welcoming, rewarding and supportive community. These include:
Parental leave. The Times offers most employees fully paid leave to care for a new child — up to 18 weeks for birth mothers and 10 weeks for partners and adoptive parents — in addition to a comprehensive benefits package including health and retirement benefits.
Continuous learning. We offer $8,000 in annual tuition reimbursement and free access to online learning, as well as many in-house resources for employees to grow and develop their skills.
Employee Resource Groups.We have 11 employee-led groups for people who share identities and interests, ranging from the Arab Collective to Young Professionals. These groups help to build an inclusive community and host over 100 events a year.
Outreach. We are working to ensure a talented, diverse pipeline of rising journalists at both The Times and the broader industry. The New York Times Fellowship Program is a one-year work program for up-and-coming journalists. We also host the annual Student Journalism Institute for journalists of color, and support many outside organizations dedicated to increasing diversity in journalism, technology and the media.
