Internet History
Honored at The Webby Awards in 1998 for The New York Times on the Web, it proved that the authority of print could become a live, refreshable report and set the stage for digital subscriptions. As the phone became the front page, NYT Mobile was Webby recognized in 2010, and a new grammar of storytelling followed. Snow Fall turned longform into an immersive event. FiveThirtyEight made interactive data part of daily news literacy. Op-Docs showed that short films could carry the weight of a reported piece. Audio became a morning ritual with Michael Barbaro and The Daily, named Webby Voice of the Year in 2020. NYT Cooking transformed recipes into a subscription community, and NYT Games made play cultural, with recent Webby honors for Connections in 2024 and Wordle 1000 in 2025. With more than 10 million subscribers, the Times remains the template for how rigorous reporting can evolve with technology.
