YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Former CNN Bureau Chief Frank Sesno weighs in on the pressures facing modern newsrooms

"Well, I think it's accurate to say that there is more pressure and more agitation within the New York Times now than there has been from the staff, from the bottom up, as there is in every single organization and institution where there is a staff of some size, consequence and diversity. We can't argue that we want more diversity in news organizations and then resist or complain when that diversity of staffing and perspective expresses itself. There is enormous pressure and debate in every news organization of any consequence that I know. And that's a healthy thing. Does it matter? Yes, it does. Does it express itself in coverage? In many cases it does. It often, in an ideal world, obviously deepens that coverage and makes it more nuanced and complex."
