SUMMARY

In 2017 a tidal wave of misinformation and free, often fake news swamped our culture. It became clear that The Times’ dogged dedication to uncovering hard truths made it invaluable during these unsettled times. The resulting campaign "The Truth Is ...." worked hard at every level on a small budget: it put The New York Times at the center of the conversation about the role of a free press, positioned it as trusted source for deeply-reported journalism, and resulted in the best quarter for subscriber growth in the NYT’s history.
