Gray Lady Down: What the Decline and Fall of The New York Times Means for America

William McGowan

About the Program

William McGowan argues that The New York Times has adopted a liberal ideological agenda under the tenure of current publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr.   By doing so, he contends, the newspaper has tarnished its reputation as a trusted news source and presents his thoughts on the need for the newspaper to reform to remain relevant.  William McGowan presents his arguments in a debate with Michael Tomasky, American editor-at-large for the Guardian at St. Francis College in Brooklyn Heights, New York.
