"While the past two years have been a time of significant innovation,the pace must speed up,"the authors wrote in the opening of the report."Too often,digital progress has been accomplished through workarounds;now we must tear apart the barriers.We must(32)K between mission and tradition:what we do because it's essential to our values and what we do because we've always done it."
The report indicates how far the paper has come in(33)H itself to the digital age while also pointing out what needs to be done.
The areas that need(34)D are focused on the newsroom,particularly in the tools and internal structures that journalists must deal with to produce their work.
Many of the report's recommendations are(35)I to anyone who closely follows the Times or newspapers in general:A(n)(36)B away from print's outsized importance on the newsroom's operations,better ways to include multimedia in stories and a renewed effort at creating a more diverse newsroom with a variety of skills.
The paper has an ongoing goal that started in 2016of doubling digital revenue to $800million by 2020."To (37)G our future,we need to expand considerably our number of subscribers by 2020."
The report also calls into question the formats on which the Times-and most other newspapers-rely,namely a mix of news stories and features that are text heavy,"Too much of our daily report remains(38)E by long texts."the report states.
The report stresses that the Times should do more to educate readers."Our readers are(39)C for advice from The Times.Too often,we don't offer it,or offer it only in print-centric forms."the report states.Perhaps the most interesting part of the report comes at the very bottom in the form of comments from the paper's own journalists.Reporters said they would like to see(40)A in choice of how to tell certain stories,and some disagreement about what kind of tone the Times should embrace going forward.
