The magazine contains articles on politics, economics, social life and journalist investigations. Columnists provide the readers with their opinions regarding recent news and events.
In 2017 the magazine ceased its print publication and became an online-only publication.[4]
After an interview of Yevgenia Albats with opposition politician Alexei Navalny, aired on Echo of Moscow, The New Times faced a 22 million ruble fine in October 2018.[5] The fine amount (almost $370,000) was crowd-funded in four days.[6]
On 28 February 2022, Roskomnadzor blocked the website of the channel for its coverage of the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[7][8] Editor Yevgenia Albats fled Russia in October to avoid persecution.[9]
