When using the NYTimes advertising platform to promote sponsored content, which targeting option provides the most granular control?

When using the NYTimes advertising platform to promote sponsored content, first-party data targeting provides the most granular control. First-party data is information collected directly from the NYTimes' own audience, such as their reading habits, newsletter subscriptions, event attendance, and survey responses. This data is highly accurate and relevant because it reflects actual user behavior on the NYTimes platform. By leveraging first-party data, advertisers can target specific audience segments with unparalleled precision, ensuring that the sponsored content reaches the most receptive and engaged users. While other targeting options like demographic or contextual targeting are available, they are less precise than targeting based on the NYTimes' direct knowledge of its audience's interests and activities. For example, you can target users who have read articles about a specific topic in the last month.
