It also includes a new carousel that makes it easier for users to binge all of their favorite podcasts from "Serial Productions," a company The Times acquired in 2020 that created the hit true crime podcast "Serial.".Publishers participating in the beta launch of the app via Audm include New York Magazine, Rolling Stone, Mother Jones, Foreign Policy and Atavist.The new app includes a section called "Magazine Stand," which features narrated pieces from The Times and publishers it works with as part of Audm, a subscription narrated article company The Times acquired in 2020.The app is curated by Times journalists and editors, and contains audio features in addition to podcasts."This is a canvas for all of those audio stories the newsroom wants to tell but didn't quite have outlets for it before," said Sam Dolnick, assistant managing editor of The Times.ĭetails: The new app, called “ New York Times Audio,” will debut as an iPhone app in a private beta Tuesday.But they're mostly distributed on apps like Apple and Spotify, limiting the ways The Times can experiment with new audio features for journalism.
Why it matters: The Times has built an audio empire, acquiring audio companies and investing heavily in new podcasts. The New York Times on Tuesday will open up its new audio app to beta testers ahead of a public launch next year.
