The New York Times is a worldwide online newspaper which stated in U.S.
From Gleick, it is impossible for human to separate writing from consciousness as it
gives definition and classification though writing in the society. Writing has a
thousand of history, but it doesn’t replace by any form of technology as it is about the
connection with the author directly reflected by words. Writing is different from
orality; it is structured by artifice which can be record and return. It catches our
attention and delivers the authors’ intelligent. However, it creates social connection
which is driven by power with the creation of empire for people to follow regardless
of any language. As every language has their assumptions, there are full of
contradiction in conversations. The New York Times is an authentic media. People
can write opinions and post in The New York Times. People using writing as an
expressing of knowledge and wisdom to their articles. When we are reading the
article, we are the part of the system as we consume the knowledge. However, people

classified as professionals and folk. As it is recorded online, people can share the
articles and make feedback. Especially for The New York times, it is an influential
institution that is trustworthy. People who subscribe The New York times is likely to
believe and check the news to understand the world. It creates an empire
unintentionally. Power influences writing and language and conversely writing and
language also influence power. In terms of political, The New York times has negative
relationship with the US government when Donald Trump was the president. As the
owner of The New York times does not support with Trump, it doesn’t not write
article that support him. Equally, when the authors do not support with, it influenced
the view of folk as it has over 7 million subscribers, according to the report of 2021. It
might change the view of readers and feedbacks are coming around the society with
the character of artifice. As The New York times has a variety of reader, they are from
different parts of world with different language, the understanding is diversity as they
have other assumption base on their own language. Some people might say that online
newspaper especially the New York times are replacing printed newspaper. The form
of newspaper might change but the core of newspaper which is delivering information
by words will not be changed. Writing will not be replaced by any form of technology
as it is an extends of orality of languages that can be record directly.
