YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWhat's happening at The New York Times?
The paper of record is under fire. Critics argue it has sacrificed journalistic and intellectual balance in favor of correcting historic inequalities. In the process, they say, that effort has stifled dissent and promoted social justice above all else. Not so, say its defenders. The paper has indeed evolved, they argue. Yet that evolution has been proven a particular strength in such tumultuous times. Subscriptions are up, while both casting a critically important lens on historically disenfranchised groups and maintaining its core commitment to high editorial standards and a wide breadth of reporting.
So here's the debate: "Has the New York Times Lost Its Way?"
For the Motion:
Yascha Mounk - Author, "The People vs. Democracy"
Batya Ungar-Sargon - Deputy Opinion Editor, Newsweek Magazine
Against the Motion:
Frank Sesno - Former CNN Washington Bureau Chief
Virginia Heffernan - Columnist, Wired Magazine
