| How Do I Email A New York Times Article |
Subject Line: The Art of the Hook
This is your first impression, people! Avoid bland subject lines like "Interesting article" or "Check this out." Get creative! Here are a few tips:
- **For the funny article: "This NYT Article Had Me Crying...Laughing!"
- For the thought-provoking piece: "Mind Blown: Did You Read This in the NYT?"
- For the super serious news: "Important Update: [Headline of NYT Article]"
Bonus points for incorporating emojis (but use them sparingly!).
The Body: Beyond Just the Link
Don't just paste the link and hit send. Add a little context! A sentence or two summarizing the article shows you actually read it (and maybe even sparks some conversation).
Here's an example:
Tip: Reading carefully reduces re-reading.
Hey [Recipient Name],
I just had to share this hilarious article I found in the New York Times about a group of squirrels who are apparently training themselves to ride tiny skateboards. You won't believe it! [Link to NYT article]
Talk soon, [Your Name]
Pro Tip: If the article is behind a paywall, you can often find snippets or summaries online to share the gist without full access.
Fancy Footwork: Sharing Specific Parts (Optional)
The New York Times offers some cool features to share specific parts of an article. Want to highlight a particularly outrageous quote? Look for the "quote this" function. Sharing a captivating infographic? Use the "share graphic" option.
QuickTip: Short pauses improve understanding.
Remember: Keep it relevant! Don't overwhelm your recipient with information overload.
"Did They Even Read It?" - Tracking Success (or Failure)
There's no built-in tracking system for emailed NYT articles, but you can get creative!

- Casually ask a question about the article in your next email.
- If it's a funny piece, use a meme referencing the article.
- For serious news, use it as a springboard for a deeper discussion.
Just don't turn into that annoying friend who keeps pestering you about an article you have zero interest in.
