NYT Joins April Fools' Day Fun

Headline: 'A Bit of April Fools’ Day Foolery: The New York Times Joins in on the Fun'

April 1, 2025

In a tradition that never gets old, The New York Times embraced the lighter side of journalism today with a playful April Fools’ Day prank, joining countless others in spreading harmless hoaxes and humorous headlines.

The newspaper, known for its serious reporting, couldn’t resist the annual tradition of April 1st antics. Readers were greeted with a cheeky front-page teaser: 'Breaking: New York City to Replace Subway Rats with Highly Trained Squirrels.' The accompanying article—complete with mock quotes from city officials and a faux environmental impact study—claimed that the rodents would be 'more polite and efficient' at navigating the subway tunnels.

Meanwhile, the Times’ cooking section featured a recipe for 'Invisible Cake,' described as 'the ultimate diet-friendly dessert—zero calories, zero carbs, and absolutely no cleanup.' Social media quickly lit up with amused (and slightly confused) reactions, as some readers momentarily fell for the ruse before realizing the date.

Even the crossword puzzle got in on the joke, with today’s edition including clues like '1-Across: This day is full of tricks (Hint: rhymes with 'rail pails').'

'We love a good laugh, especially when the news can be so heavy,' said Times editor Jessica Bennett. 'April Fools’ Day is a chance to remind readers that even the most serious institutions don’t take themselves too seriously all the time.'

Of course, not everyone was fooled. 'I saw the headline and immediately checked the date,' said longtime subscriber Mark Reynolds. 'But it’s fun to see the Times let loose for a day.'

As the internet buzzed with other brands and publications rolling out their own pranks, The New York Times proved that even the bastions of journalism can enjoy a well-timed—if temporary—departure from the truth.

Happy April Fools’ Day, indeed.
