The New York Times has changed a lot in the past 10years，embracing digital subscriptions and growing into online video and specialty areas like cooking．It has not been enough to prepare the company for the future，according to the paper's own 2020report（31）F on Tuesday．

The areas that need（34）D are focused on the newsroom，particularly in the tools and internal structures that journalists must deal with to produce their work．
