The paper's motto, as printed in the upper left-hand corner of the front page, is "All the News That's Fit to Print." It is organized into sections: News, Opinions, Business, Arts, Science, Sports, Style, and Features.

The Times has won 101 Pulitzer Prizes, the most of any news organization.[2] Its website is one of the most popular, receiving over 14 million visitors in August 2008.
