STORYLINE:
Hundreds of New York Times journalists and other staff have walked off the job for 24 hours.
They're frustrated by contract negotiations that have dragged on for months in the newspaper's biggest labor dispute in more than 40 years.
Reporters, editors, photographers and other employees planned a rally outside Times' offices.
"We are here because we love the New York Times and because workers are the heart of the New York Times," Nikole Hannah-Jones, correspondent for the New York Times Magazine said outside the Times' offices.
"We are here because we know the New York Times is nothing without its guild and every last one of us deserves to earn livable wage and to receive the benefits that we deserve."
The newspaper was relying on international staff and other non-union journalists to deliver content to its more than 9 million subscribers in the U.S. and other countries.
In an email to the newsroom, Times Executive Editor Joe Kahn said Thursday's report would be "robust" but that producing it would be harder than usual.
The last strike that stopped the newspaper's publication was in 1978 and lasted 88 days.
