NYT hasn't changed but the extreme amplification of any mistakes that organization makes definitely has. If you compare NYT to clown shows like Breitbart or Fox News it is extremely well run. I'm not a fan of NYT in many cases but the extreme propaganda against it these days makes me ask, in who's interest is it to destroy another one of our established institutions?
- js2 6y agoThe NYT is a mess and it's gotten worse since it laid off a bunch of its editors and notably got rid of its public editor. I see it today as a bunch of independent contractors loosely publishing under the same banner. Article quality varies heavily depending upon author. News pieces are increasingly opinionated. I've been a reader for over a decade and have probably cancelled and renewed my subscription a dozen times. This NYT has never been perfect: I'm still sore how uncritical it was over the Iraq War. But my memory is that its voice and quality used to be a lot more consistent. Note: I am addressing only the news part of the org. The opinion section is a whole other ball of wax, but they bleed into each other.
