The New York Times was dubbed "The Old Gray Lady" primarily due to "its reputation in NYC as boring." The nickname reflects both the color of the paper it was printed on (which was gray) and a perception of it being the staid, traditional choice for news, particularly in contrast to more sensationalist publications.
