Dean Baquet is executive editor of The New York Times. \n\n\n"I always tried to question what is the difference between what is truly tradition and core, and what is merely habit. A lot of stuff we think are core, are just habits. The way we write newspaper stories, that\u2019s not core, that\u2019s habit. I think that\u2019s the most important part about leading a place that\u2019s going through dramatic change and even generational change. You\u2019ve got to say, here\u2019s what\u2019s not going to change. This is core. This is who we are. Everything else is sort of up for grabs."\n\nThanks to Mailchimp for sponsoring this week's episode.\nBaquet\u2019s archive at The New York Times\n[03:15] "Tom Cotton: Send In the Troops" (The New York Times \u2022 June 2020)\n[03:30] "A Reckoning Over Objectivity, Led by Black Journalists" (The New York Times \u2022 June 2020)\n[10:00] The Trust: The Private and Powerful Family Behind The New York Times (Jones, Tifft \u2022 Little, Brown \u2022 1999)\n[29:45] Dean Baquet\u2019s 1988 Pulitzer Prize\n[55:15] \u201cStill Processing: The Day After\u201d (The New York Times \u2022 November 2016)\n[1:09:15] Longform Podcast #254: Maggie Haberman\nLearn more about your ad choices.
