“There’s no ideology here-if there’s a really good editorial in the Wall Street Journal, we’ll give it to you.” They would also summarize wide-ranging arguments across the web into short, hyperlinked summaries. He said the staff would hunt for “provocative, thoughtful, entertaining” articles, and that readers would understand that-unlike the paper’s own op-eds-it wasn’t vouching for the fact-checking (or copy-editing) of these recommended reads. He estimated the paper would hire two more to fill out its team, such that it could edit and aggregate around the clock. Six people are working on the app right now: two dedicated to writing, two to editing new content, and two to “just go finding great stuff,” according to Rosenthal.
The section has been hiring staff accordingly, mostly from outside the Times machine.
“We do it already in that we try to put stuff on the page everyday that we think people will want to read.” “We’ve never really done a lot of trying to round up the best opinion of what’s done elsewhere,” said Andrew Rosenthal, who edits the paper’s opinion division. The app's aggregated 'Op-Talk' section (NYT) “It’s occurring around us, and we want it to occur on the New York Times.” With the Op-Talk aggregation stream, “we can keep the water-cooler conversation on the New York Times platform.” Right now, he added, the opinion section was often where the dialogue “begins,” but not where it ends. The opinion staff seeks to draw on “small publications you’ve never heard of in the United States, publications overseas, even from publications in China,” said Geraci.
The paper will look both to the national media-yesterday, an Atlantic story about the Spanish king’s abdication sat at the top-and smaller places its readers might not check. Second, there’s an “Op-Talk” section: an aggregated list of opinion pieces that the paper’s staff think are especially deserving. Stories from the Sunday paper’s expanded opinion section will also reside in “Today,” as do the paper’s excellent Op-Docs video series. There, the paper’s unsigned editorials sit next to its guest Op-Eds sit next to Maureen Dowd getting stoned out of her gourd. The first-“Today”-serves all the Times’s opinion content from one day in a single stream. Like NYT Now, it’s broken into three columns. But they want something else, too: “They want more voices, as well. Centrally, he said, opinion readers just want access to the opinion section. John Geraci, director of new digital products, said the app grew out of “months” of conversations with opinion fans about what they want in an app. “And was a great idea-except the columnists really hated it.” “The opinion franchise is one of the most valuable franchises for The New York Times,” Denise Warren, the Times’s executive vice president of digital products, told me. It gives readers, in other words, access to something that-when I talked to Timesfolk on Tuesday-they frequently called “the Opinion franchise.” For $78 per year, the subscription allows customers to use NYT Opinion apps and to access any opinion story on. With the release of NYT Opinion-the app-the paper has unveiled a new kind of subscription, opinion-only, that customers can purchase for $6 per month.
The second goes live today: It’s NYT Opinion, an iPhone app that packages the complete daily offering of the paper’s extensive opinion section. NYT Now is only the first of three new apps from the Times this year. Like the designer Craig Mod, I’ve “opened NYT Now multiple times a day, everyday, since the day it was released.” It proposed a new media schedule for would-be users: With time-pegged briefings for the morning and evening, a human-picked selection of stories from the website, and a list of interesting news stories from other sites, it made sense of the daily deluge of Times content.įor some users-for me-the schedule stuck.
#Nyt opinion page software
When The New York Times announced its new mobile app, NYT Now, in April, it did more than release a new piece of software to the world.
