PRIVACY-FORWARD DATA POLICY

Over 100 million registered readers place trust in our data privacy policy, which is privacy-forward and transparent.

It powers New York Times Advertising's work with brands and companies, helping them understand what audiences care about now and what they will care about next.

Powerful Data Portfolio

By identifying connections between content and emotion, we've successfully driven ad engagement 6X more effectively than IAB benchmarks.

Artificial intelligence allows brands to target specific articles we predict will evoke particular emotions in our readers.

21 Emotions available, from adventurous to inspired to nostaglic, we cover a range of perspectives.

The inverse of perspective targeting: we exclude your messaging from content we predict will evoke certain reader sentiments.

Brands have the opportunity to target ads to articles we predict will motivate our readers to take a particular action.

10 Motivations available, including:

  • Go on an outing
  • Donate to a cause
  • Splurge
  • Watch something
  • Make a healthy change

Optimize media by messaging alongside articles that are more likely to "go viral" — reaching a larger audience of engaged readers and making a significant contribution to the news cycle.

Brands can target specific, niche content areas that matter to them and their target audience with Topic Targeting, NYT's proprietary topic model, helping brands reach audiences accurately and at a hyper-granular level. We also have the ability to build custom topics for clients, making our Topic Targeting capability incredibly effective and versatile.

  • Arts & Entertainment, Business, Education, Environment, Fashion, Finance, Food & Drink, Government, Health, Lifestyle, News, Political Movements, Puzzles, Real Estate, Science, Sports, Technology, Transportation
