Zelensky:
I say openly, if you want to understand what Russia has done, come to Ukraine and you will see this with your own eyes, without any extra words. And after that you tell us that in this war, who started it and when."

@finkd:
"...you do not want one person or one company making those decisions which is why we pioneered an oversight board for our content decisions...You can agree or disagree with what Elon is doing or how he does it, I think it will be interesting to see how this plays out..."
@reedhastings:
"Elon Musk is the most brave and creative person on the
planet. What he has done in the most multiple areas
has been phenomenal.... He just spent all this money for democracy and society to have a more open platform...."

• Jan 5: Trump's DoJ gets a court order demanding that Google secretly hand over emails of NYT reporters (Google operates The Times email system)

• The Times had no idea about the order

• Google refused

• Jan 20: Biden takes over; the DoJ continued to demand the records
• After 6 weeks the Biden DoJ relents and tells a judge, ok go ahead and tell NYT's top lawyer (David McCraw) what we've been up to

• Mar 3: McCraw is told, but only on the condition he can't tell anyone else, including the reporters in question and exec editor Dean Baquet!
• Mar 4: McCraw learns that a career assistant US Attorney had been leading the effort, so he negotiates

• The DoJ attorney agrees to revise the gag order so McCraw can tell the company's lawyers, AG Sulzberger (the publisher) and Meredith Levien (the CEO)

• but no one else

nytimes.com/2021/04/10/bus…
A special innovation group analyzed what the paper is doing right and what it's doing wrong. In July, the team dropped a 209-page report. The Journal wants to double its subscriptions. To hit that goal it needs 100 million readers a month. But it rarely cracks above 50 million.
From the report: “In the past five years, we have had six quarters where we lost more subscribers than we gained."

NEW: Anna Wintour has championed diversity for years.
But some at Vogue describe a workplace that sidelined and tokenized them.

The racism they faced was often coded and subtle; sometimes blunt. That culture stemmed from Ms. Wintour they said: nytimes.com/2020/10/24/bus…
In June, Ms. Wintour sent out an unusually candid apology for Vogue’s poor record on race. It came in the midst of George Floyd protests but it also felt out of nowhere. I was skeptical, so I decided to take a closer look.
I interviewed 18 current and former staffers who describe a very white work environment, not just in staff makeup but in aesthetic and approach. Under Ms. Wintour, Vogue welcomed a certain type of employee — someone who is thin and white, typically from a wealthy family they said
