Newswise — NEW YORK – Daniel Schwarz, Cornell professor of English, discusses his book, “Endtimes: Crises and Turmoil at the New York Times, 1999-2009” on Wednesday, Oct. 10 at the New York Public Library, at 40th St. and Fifth Ave. (Sixth Floor). The talk begins at 6:30 p.m.
From false stories about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq to growing competition from online and 24-hour cable news, the first decade of the 21st century was not particularly kind to the New York Times. He describes the transformation of the newspaper and how it has confronted not only its various scandals and embarrassments but also the rapid rise of the Internet and blogosphere, the ensuing decline in circulation and print advertising, and the change in what contemporary readers want and how they want to get it.
