I have digital / print subscription to the NYT. It seems like stories were being published online Monday, and the paper paper arrived. Strike doesn't start until Tuesday?

I doubt the NYT's tech stack requires intervention of engineers or product or design people to get out a physical or digital edition of the paper.

That makes sense. So perhaps the immediate impact on operations on election day coverage / reporting is more symbolic than real?

It depends on the internal infrastructure for electoral votes and real-time access of official data. If it’s been set up for a while and a few switches need flipped then it’s likely readers won’t notice. If however the system needs to be changed in any way there may just be some problems. Definitely gonna be fun to see if this causes any problems.

With few exceptions (pre-made obituaries for the famous, for example) print media is always yesterday’s news. The strike started today at 12:01am, as the very first line of the article states, production of today’s news was completed yesterday.
