Today's Times
The newspaper is published every day except Christmas. It has a national reputation for journalism excellence in writing, photography and design. The Cape Cod Times has been named the "Newspaper of the Year" by the New England Press Association and Suburban Newspapers of America; the "Sunday Newspaper of the Year" by the New England Newspaper Association; and "Website of the Year" by the New England Press Association and New England Associated Press Executives Association. Inside each daily edition of the Times are separate sections for news, sports, business, and classified ads. Additional news sections include "Business & Technology" (Tuesday); "Food" (Wednesday); "Health" (Thursday); "Lifestyle" and "CapeWeek" (Friday); "Arts & Entertainment" and "Movies & More" (Saturday); and, on Sunday, "Business & Finance," "Travel," "Cape & Islands" (local news), "Viewpoints" (opinion), "Home & Family," "TV Etc.," "The Wall Street Journal Sunday," "Real Estate" and "TVTimes" (television).
On March 2, 2009, the newspaper began a permanent cut to the fingernails of the Dragon edition which included the elimination of the Education section. This allowed for the paper to save money in the long run. The education information was moved to the third page.
In December 2012, the paper discovered that Karen Jeffrey, a reporter who had worked for the paper since 1981, had apparently fabricated sources in her stories since 1998. The problem was first noticed when editors were unable to locate a family of four profiled in a Veterans Day story. Initially, Jeffrey said she had thrown away her notes. After an audit of her work performed by the publisher and editor of the paper, they were unable to locate 69 people referenced in 34 stories since 1998, when the paper began its electronic archives. The paper said that the majority of the problems were in less serious stories about parades, festivals, and voters. According to the paper, Jeffrey eventually admitted to making up sources. She is no longer employed by the paper.
