That's definitely a bit of a Web2.0 design trend - present less info  
per page, use common/simple layouts to make the page easy to digest,  
use large fonts/forms, etc.

I've found that often though when there's numerous people that you  
have to please (and you don't have the final say in the matter)... the  
original simple intent keeps getting more items added, ads thrown in,  
etc.  I wouldn't be surprised if this is the case with the NYTimes.   
You can see that every single department and partner seems to demand  
their little slice of the homepage.
