New York Times : Revamped New York Times Real Estate Section Offers More Service-Oriented and Visual Journalism

NEW YORK, Friday, September 16, 2016 - The New York Times will debut a redesigned Real Estate section with more service-oriented and visual journalism on Sunday, September 18.

Joining a popular line-up of regular columns such as The Hunt, Living In and On the Market, the section's new columns and features include:

• Renters, a bi-weekly profile of a renter in New York City. The inaugural column looks at a man in Brooklyn who rents a 450-square-foot space that requires scaling a ladder to enter.
• 360 View, a weekly column by Ronda Kaysen riffs on the trends and quirks of the New York City market. Her first column charts the evolution of the portrayal of New York City apartments on television from unrealistic ('Sex and The City,' 'Friends') to more believable ('Girls').
• Calculator, a weekly graphic by Michael Kolomatsky that explores real estate numbers such as the income required to live in different cities.
• Voyeur, a photo spread by George Etheredge, debuting in the coming weeks that will chronicle trends in real estate from the ground view.
• The Fix, a bi-weekly column by Michelle Higgins, covering renovations issues. First up she tackles how best to stage your apartment when it comes time to sell it.
• The High End, a new column covering the luxury and international real estate markets.

The digital redesign, rolling out on October 3, will offer richer integration of photography, video and interactive story elements as well as responsive designs optimized for its world-class journalism and premium advertising across platforms.

'Our readers look to us for industry news and guidance to help them navigate the often daunting New York real estate market whether they are buyers, renters, sellers, brokers, developers or simply interested in real estate,' said Vivian Toy, real estate editor, The New York Times. 'With this redesign, we are excited to offer coverage that better serves the needs of our readers.'
