If NR's numbers are to be believed, they get 10 million unique visitors to their website each month. That seems sizable enough to warrant the writing of a single article. I'd imagine it's also a matter of wanting to reach a variety of ideologically different audiences. Plus, there's also the potential matter of which publications wanted to run or commission a piece. I doubt you're going to get any significant inside baseball on this though.
Honestly, it's kind of hard to say for the NYT because it gets a lot of people who aren't there for articles. WaPo gets around 55 million unique visitors each month, so the NYT should have at least that many. That being said, if his goal were to purely maximize the number of potential viewers, then he wouldn't publish in WaPo either. He'd publish on the websites of CNN, Fox News, and People Magazine, because those are the next most popular news sites after the NYT.
Colorado just can't seem to help itself when it comes to passing laws that violate the 1st amendment.
Why did you get published bythe national review? They don't seem to be the consistent types.
Probably for the same reason he has (presumably) published under the NYT and WaPo: to reach a broad audience.
If they wanted that broader audience as you say and you list those publications... then they would have contributed to those larger publications

Ok and the numbers of the other publications?..
