Online platforms of The New York Times

[9] The New York Times added an anonymous tip page in December 2016 with support for WhatsApp, Signal, encrypted email, and SecureDrop as part of an initiative by deputy investigations editor Gabriel Dance and then-information security director Runa Sandvik.

[10] By March 2017, the additional channels had revealed audio from Hillary Clinton in reaction to the 2016 Democratic National Committee email leak, queries from Donald Trump's transition team indicating skepticism of foreign aid, and regulations preventing Wells Fargo from offering severance pay in the aftermath of a cross-selling scandal in September 2016.

[11] The article on the Federal Bureau of Investigation's raid of Michael Cohen's office began with an online tip.

The New York Times's comment section does not tolerate, among other things, personal attacks, obscenities, and profanity, in an effort to ensure cogency.

Engadget's Scott McNulty wrote critically of the app, negatively comparing it to The New York Times's mobile website.

[19] In October, The New York Times expanded NYT Editors' Choice to include the paper's full articles.

[34] The New York Times has used video games as part of its journalistic efforts, among the first publications to do so,[35] contributing to an increase in Internet traffic.

In the game, players play as either a white programmer from California, a Latina nurse from Texas, or an African-American salesman from Wisconsin, and attempt to vote in the 2016 presidential election.

[40] The Voter Suppression Trail was developed by Chris Baker, Brian Moore, and Mike Lacher of GOP Arcade[41] and is the first game to debut on the Op-Docs page.

[48] In January 2022, The New York Times Company acquired Wordle, a word game developed by Josh Wardle in 2021, at a valuation in the "low-seven figures".

The game, developed by Budcat Creations and published by Majesco Entertainment, features The New York Times crossword puzzles from March 2004 to November 2006.

The New York Times Crosswords includes a campaign mode, in which the player solves seven successive puzzles with increasing difficulty.

The New York Times subsequently released a statement defending Lorenz and calling Carlson's comments "calculated and cruel".

[74] Twitter chief executive Elon Musk removed @nytimes's verification status after the statement was released,[75] though it was reinstated later that month.

[78] In August, Musk criticized The New York Times for publishing an article describing South African political party Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema's chants of dubul' ibhunu as a literal call to violence; the article quoted Musk as stating that Malema was advocating for white genocide.

[81] In February 2018, The New York Times published an augmented reality article for iOS devices, allowing readers to view three-dimensional models of Olympic athletes Nathan Chen, J. R. Celski, Alex Rigsby, and Anna Gasser.

[97] A study by the Tow Center for Digital Journalism found that the Times was among the largest publications on Apple News.

[98] In March 2019, The New York Times dramatically reduced the coverage it provides to Apple ahead of the company's announcement of a subscription service for Apple News; then-chief executive officer Mark Thompson stated that the Times should be "intelligent in the way [it thinks] about [its] partnerships with these platforms" and announced a similar reduction it would impose on Facebook.

Then-chief operating officer Meredith Kopit Levien stated that Apple News does not allow for the Times to control the "presentation of [its] report".
