My NYT team just published a piece about whether a woman will win in 2020. We deeply reported the piece - 3 dozen+ interviews w/ Dems voters, officials etc - and talked at length about best ways to write the piece to avoid sexist tropes & gendered thinking nyti.ms/2RAKYn2?smid=n…
Examining the reasons for Clinton’s loss in 2016 is important subject matter/context for in 2020 race. But we won’t let 2020 Dem coverage be All About Hillary. One of the most important paragraphs in today’s story is this:
People sometimes find political coverage/angles to be overblown or out of bounds. I think about coverage this way: attempts to probe and illuminate issues and dynamics that are real and have impact, even if unwelcome by some, and present them accurately & thoroughly.
Constructive comments on today’s story and other coverage are welcome. We read the feedback & we digest it, and we respond - Lisa Lerer’s “On Politics” newsletters regularly engage with reader reaction. Feel free to email me directly at pdh@nytimes.com. nyti.ms/2RAKYn2?smid=n…
