Concerning the possible warning in Simon's NYT article -

the title of that article had been changed.

The twitter account Editing TheGrayLady@nyt_diff is a bot account that highlights changes to NYT main page.

This tweet passed my twitter feed yesterday. I noticed it without knowing anything about the impending strike that took place later.

We know POTUS uses edits in his tweets as messaging.

Does the NYT edit their headlines as a signal for important information in articles?

I don't have info about where this edit fits in the timeline, or access to NYT archives. Time stamps in articles usually are not posted in screen shots.

The headline change raised a flag to me because of the notables regarding this article and I wanted to put it out for anons to consider.

Revisiting the account I see that it has been suspended for suspicious activity, which raises another flag.

The bot timed the headline change at 8:09 am Thursday morning. There might be some lag error.

So the article was up before that. Headline change at 8:09 am, consistent with "before 11am" in your panel.

My thoughts are that headline change acts as a notice for people to look in the article for info. The twitter bot account would be a helpful "heads up" to point out what articles contained communication.
