The VinePair Podcast: Can The New York Times Take Its Food Section National?
While we normally cover topics relating to the drinks industry on the “VinePair Podcast,” we’re taking a slight detour today to discuss a recent event that pertains to the hospitality industry at large: the reorganization of The New York Times’s restaurant reviews section.
The Times recognizes that in order to grow as one of the healthier legacy media companies out there, it needs to expand its food and restaurant coverage beyond NYC. In recent years, there’s been an influx of other publications — not to mention social media influencers — getting their fingers on the pulse of the restaurant scenes in various cities across the country. As such, The Times has lost some of its influence, but now it’s making moves to reclaim it.
On this episode of the “VinePair Podcast,” Adam, Joanna, and Zach react to the news that The New York Times is taking a different approach to its food section: having a critic specifically devoted to covering restaurants outside New York, plus producing more video content. Can they take the success they’ve had in New York City and make it work on a national level? How prized will these reviews be in other cities? Can they really take on other well-known publications, plus the influencer set? Tune in for more.
