Is this news to you?  Subway and bus fares rose today, Sunday, for rides both single and multiple.

If
you've read today's Times–and only the Sunday Times–it's news to you
because NYT is carrying not a word about the increase.  In fact,
there's not a single news story about anything in New York City.

Features,
yes, in the new Metropolitan section. These are stories that could have
been written a year ago and could run a year from now. But today, last
Sunday and the two or three Sundays before that, not a NYT word
anywhere about what actually happened in the city the day before. 
Isn't that classically what a paper–especially a Paper of Record–does?

Come Sundays, should the newspaper be calling itself a NEWSpaper? Should it be calling itself the NEW YORK Times and not the National Times?

When a print newspaper
reader has to go to the Post or the Daily News to find out what went on Saturday, isn't that a story that should run in the Times?  Never, however, on Sunday.
