The total paragraph is like this ( it was a mail written to Programme Officer): Please correct the whole paragraph besides the underlined sentence.

Thanks Philip, but sorry that I have not been able to clear my question yet. My question is using 'to' before a verb (present form) in that type of sentences. Suppose in your sentence you wrote- The NYT to do a feature as well?
