New York Times 2020 Report

“If every desk had someone who could produce a nimble graphic, and people didn’t need special ‘keys’ to make a simple chart or a map, we could get a lot more done. It’s sort of demoralizing to know that your story could be stronger with the help of a graphic, but to also know that you will probably receive no help with it.”

 

Where does it designate "someone" is a writer?

 

That's again you misreading what they mean.

 

Do you want to keep doing this? I can keep showing you how you don't understand what was written if you'd like.

 

"Similarly, when we write about dance or art, our reporters and critics are able to include video or photography but only in a limited way; they lack the proper training to embed visuals contextually, and our content management system, Scoop, makes the placement of visuals an afterthought. ...

"Reporters, editors and critics are eager to make progress here, and we need to train and empower them."

Again, learn to read. I'm done going back and picking out the things you ignored or didn't read to start with.

You've been wrong across the board.

 

Well, given that you have flat-out missed at least three points from the report so far, I'd say you would only be hurting yourself.

 

Embedding things properly and producing a graphic are two different things. Again, show me where it says they want the reporters to produce the graphics.

 

But again, since you have such a poor grasp of visual journalism, it doesn't surprise me that you don't understand the difference between properly embedding images in the way they mean and producing a graphic.

 

And I didn't miss those. I just understood them and realized they don't mean what you think they mean since you don't understand visual journalism.

 

I actually covered that in my initial post when I said the writers might participate in at least setting up a map with the relevant places marked. That is a task that is not difficult at all. The graphics people would still build the actual graphic -- I think that was covered in the initial post, too.

I really hope you are not involved with anything that requires reading or comprehension of said reading.

 

"Simple map." I am not sure how this is such a challenge for you.

 

This is a waste of time. You clearly have no intention of making any sort of point based on things like "simple map" that have been pointed out repeatedly.

You should provide your unlimited expertise to the Times. They'll need a scapegoat in 2020.
