Las redacciones rebeldes y a dirección del NYTimes (2)

La portada del Post y la carta de renuncia de Bari Weiss, la subeditora de opinión del New York Times, a cargo de la sección desde la renuncia de James Bennet, hace menos de dos semanas. Va el párrafo más picante:

Twitter is not on the masthead of The New York Times. But Twitter has become its ultimate editor. As the ethics and mores of that platform have become those of the paper, the paper itself has increasingly become a kind of performance space. Stories are chosen and told in a way to satisfy the narrowest of audiences, rather than to allow a curious public to read about the world and then draw their own conclusions. I was always taught that journalists were charged with writing the first rough draft of history. Now, history itself is one more ephemeral thing molded to fit the needs of a predetermined narrative.
