In the early years of the 20th Century, Time Square's newspaper reporters and editors redefined what we call "the news" - how it was written and reported, and what "counted." The area's famous giant news tickers have also made Times Square a gathering place for New Yorkers eager to learn about major events throughout the world, to weep and to celebrate together. The Square itself is an object of national cultural discussion and a barometer of the state of American cities. The reporting of life in and around the Square shapes how the rest of America learns about events of the day. This Media and Press area is your clearinghouse for the most current news surrounding the Crossroads of the World. You'll also be able to access our archives of past Times Square Alliance news releases and coverage Times Square has received in national and international media. Be sure to check out the downloadable high resolution images that accompany the articles.
