      Nicholas A. Christakis Retweeted NYTimes Communications

      Somewhere, I once read "I am the editor-in-chief, not the thought-policeman-in-chief." The opinions expressed by Senator Cotton were dangerous. I reject them. But to fire the editor who published a piece by a sitting US Senator, in a paper that aspires to be 'paper of record'?https://twitter.com/NYTimesPR/status/1269722985751027713 …

      The @nytimes announced today that James Bennet, Editorial Page Editor since May 2016, is resigning effective immediately. Katie Kingsbury, who joined The Times in 2017, has been named as acting Editorial Page Editor through the November election. https://bit.ly/3hdy9JE

      Replying to @NAChristakis

      I don't think the NYT aspires to be a paper of record anymore. I'm not sure it's even possible now. The newspaper of record may have been an artifact of the print era, when newspapers wanted everyone in some region as a subscriber, and thus had to at least seem neutral.

      Replying to @paulg @NAChristakis

      Now that newspapers get their revenue from online subscriptions, being neutral is not only unnecessary, but would harm them. Outrage is the biggest driver of clicks, and the things that outrage the left have no overlap with those that outrage the right.

      Replying to @paulg @NAChristakis

      By switching to subscriptions, the former newspapers of record have essentially become newsletters for the like-minded. As far as I know they've all opted to move left, which was to be expected, since the reporters leaned that way even in the print era.

      That seems true, but new paid media (eg. @stratechery, @ExponentialView, @TheAthletic, etc.) are for the like-minded on different dimensions than the relatively arbitrary/inconstant axis of US politics. And podcasts give hope for free/general media, also oriented differently.

      Yes, there is hope there.

          It looks like substack/podcasts are the winning current strategies for building individual publications, how would you attack the "build the X of record" problem?
