Starting tomorrow (October 16th), The Japan Times embarks on a new phase in its 116-year history as it commences a publishing tie-up with The New York Times. From tomorrow's issue, the newspaper will be packaged with The New York Times' international edition, to become “The Japan Times / International New York Times”.
For subscribers' Sunday reading pleasure, we will also be launching a brand-new, tabloid-sized companion newspaper called “The Japan Times On Sunday,” which will include colorful features, in-depth reporting and more.
Subscribers will also be eligible for a host of digital benefits, including free access to all content on The Japan Times website and free access to the NYTimes.com website and selected apps for smartphones and tablets.
Special launch event of “The Japan Times / International New York Times”
On Oct. 23, a very special event will be held in Tokyo to commemorate the launch of "The Japan Times / International New York Times."
