In These Times with Rabbi Ammi Hirsch: Adam Nagourney
Since I arrived in Manhattan some 40 years ago, I've started almost every day by reading The New York Times. Millions of other readers do the same.
Despite its shortcomings — and it has many shortcomings — the Times is still the paper of record, one of the most important sources of news that has impressively adapted to a new, paperless era.
Adam Nagourney joined the Times in 1996, was appointed chief national political correspondent in 2002 and became the Los Angeles bureau chief in 2010. He took a leave of absence in 2018 to write an unauthorized history of The New York Times, from the final years of Arthur Sulzberger's reign as publisher to the election of Donald Trump in November 2016.
His book "The Times: How the Newspaper of Record Survived Scandal, Scorn, and the Transformation of Journalism" just came out and is available now in bookstores.
I hope you'll tune in and join me for this intimate conversation wherever you get your podcasts.
