      Rise of Netflix and Amazon Prime increases pressure on traditional TV and its declining audiences

      This image released by Netflix shows Claire Foy, center, and Matt Smith, right, in a scene from "The Crown." The New York Times website recaps each episode of "The Crown" in text stories, but it goes the extra mile. Through the miracle of hyperlinks and its own "Times Machine" function, the site links wanderers to the paper's original reporting _ and its original pages in PDFs detailing numerous actual events covered in the series.
