Times Company's digital news products and digital replica editions
to hotels, airlines, cruise- and ferry lines, as well as non-U.S.

VANCOUVER, BC and NEW YORK, Oct. 4,
2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The New York Times Company
and PressReader today announced a new collaboration to further
expand The New York Times's global presence through
PressReader's extensive network of channel partners which spans
over 150 countries.
This partnership provides an even broader global audience with
unparalleled access to The New York
Times's trusted journalism, which has earned numerous
prestigious accolades, including the highest number of Pulitzer
Prizes among news organizations. Given PressReader's extensive
reach, this integration will further broaden the distribution of
the rich journalistic content of The New York
Times.
PressReader, as an industry partner of the World Travel and
Tourism Council (WTTC), is uniquely positioned to offer The
New York Times to travelers globally —
on the ground, in the air, and at sea. The New
York Times's journalism will further be available to
numerous remote and isolated locations with limited connectivity,
such as science research centers in Antarctica. In addition, outside of the U.S.,
PressReader will now distribute The New York Times's
journalism to public libraries and patient-care facilities.
PressReader's channel partners in over 150 countries are now
able to get access to not only The New York
Times's digital replica edition but also its digital "News"
product — containing current and historical journalism dating back
to 1851. Additionally, as part of the agreement, The New York Times
Company will continue its decade-long collaboration with
PressReader and its white-label tech platform Branded Editions —
which is equipped with auto-translate, on-demand audio capabilities
and additional accessibility features — for The New York Times, The International New York Times,
and TimesDigest.
"We're thrilled to expand our relationship with PressReader
Group," said Andy Wright, Senior
Vice President, Head of Global Institutional Subscriptions at The
New York Times Company. "At The New York Times, we believe great
journalism has the power to make each reader's life richer and more
fulfilling, and all of society stronger and more just. This
agreement allows us to increase access to our high-quality,
original, independent journalism from anywhere in the world and
connect with an even broader global audience."
"For more than two decades, The New York
Times has remained a top-requested title across our B2B
sectors, a testament to their internationally acclaimed journalism.
This enduring demand made it a natural choice for PressReader to
forge such a partnership with The New York Times Company," said
Steve Chapman, Senior Vice President
of Content Partnerships of PressReader Group of companies. "Our
collaboration is a direct response to feedback from our readers.
Whether they're enjoying a relaxing moment while on vacation,
indulging some free time while traveling for business, or simply in
pursuit of knowledge in their local library, they can count on The
New York Times's thoughtful journalism,
through PressReader and its partners."
"We are delighted to deepen our partnership with The New York
Times Company, whose content helps people understand the world
through its commitment to truth-seeking," said Ruairí Doyle, CEO of

mission to empower and enrich curious minds. Together, we are
steadfastly committed to delivering top-notch journalism and an
unparalleled reading experience to a worldwide and diverse
