June 25, 2015: Deadline: NY Times TV Critic Alessandra Stanley Gets Rich New Beat
After 12 tumultuous and frequently contentious years as chief television critic, Stanley will move to a new beat, covering how the wealthiest of the wealthy influence the rest of us (because, apparently, we didn’t know). Times executive editor Dean Baquet put it this way in a memo to the staff: “As part of The Times’s deepening focus on economic inequality in America, she will be creating a new beat: an interdisciplinary look at the way the richest of the rich — the top 1 percent of the 1 percent — are influencing, indeed rewiring, the nation’s institutions, including universities, philanthropies, museums, sports franchises and, of course, political parties and government…This is a subject both intensely timely and well suited to Alessandra’s skills as an observer, reporter and writer.”
