This week, our #NYTReadalong guest is Megan DiTrolio, Senior Editor at The New York Times. She’s the lead editor of A2-A3 and just led a major refresh of those pages. Neil Parekh will be the guest host. It’s our last show of 2022. Megan will walk us through the process the team went through to pitch their vision. The overall goal of these pages, in Megan’s words, has been to “pull back the curtain and explain how it all works.” Several new elements have been added to the mix, each with an eye toward increasing transparency and shedding light on the journalistic process. We’ll also take a look at The Lives They Lived, a special report from New York Times Magazine about 12 American children who died from gun violence in 2022 and Puzzle Mania, the annual special section devoted to puzzles of all kinds (How to solve it).
