Yes, courtesy titles are common in New York Times due to their style manual:

> Requires that the surnames of subjects be prefixed with a courtesy title (such as Dr., Mr., Ms., or Mrs.). (However, since about 2015, courtesy titles have not been used in sports pages, pop culture, and fine arts)

Thank you. Interesting that certain individuals receive more courtesy than others.
