I found the headlines totally misleading, but the stuff that sells papers.
Morse Code: A Fading Signal
It may be the ultimate S O S - Morse Code is in distress

An accurate headline would have been:
FCC Ends Morse Code Testing for U.S. Hams
Morse Code Still Popular Throughout International Ham Community

But those heads don't sell papers, especially to the general public audience
of the NY Times.
Other than that, I also found the article nicely done.

"The language of dots and dashes has been the lingua franca of amateur
radio, a vibrant community of technology buffs and hobbyists who have
provided a communications lifeline in emergencies and disasters. "
