Files under PERSPECTIVES NERWSPAPERS, THE INDEPENDENT, The New York Times, VIEWSPAPERS, WARREN HOGE | May
23rd
The New York Times’ masthead slogan, “All The News That’s Fit to Print,” dates back to 1896.
But as Warren Hoge said, today’s New York Times is not a “newspaper of record.”
“We don’t record the news. We find the news.”
I agree.
Yes, it’s a challenge.
But there is no other way.
Find the news.
Explain the news.
And tell the stories behind the news.
For the same reasons, I agree with this promotional mailing from The New York Times:
“Fresh perspectives delivered daily.”
Yes, not “fresh news,” but “fresh perspectives.”
The Independent in London is a “viewspaper.”
The New York Times is one of “perspectives.”
And both are more necessary than ever.
