Joe Kahn, the incoming executive editor of The New York Times, says he's been thinking about the paper's reluctance to publicly defend its journalism, and that he thinks its efforts to communicate with readers could be improved.
That may not be good enough anymore, said Kyle Pope, editor in chief and publisher of the Columbia Journalism Review.
Kahn said he wants The Times to be dogged in covering voter access, the certification of elections and increased political violence. Reporters and editors dedicated to the topic need to be persistent about focusing attention on the problems, similar to how The Times tracked the COVID-19 pandemic, he said.
“Reporting more aggressively, accurately and clearly about threats to democracy is not asking them to become a partisan organization,” said Dan Froomkin, editor of the Press Watch media criticism site. The Times is also writing stories specifically designed to show up in Internet searches when people want to learn the truth about false stories that spread online, like quack COVID treatments.
