About this episode

Julia and Dylan discuss The New York Times's shift to a video-first model and its implications for journalism and business strategy.

Julia and Dylan reunite to dig into The New York Times’s pivot to a video-first model—confirmed this week by executive editor Joe Kahn, who’s likening the shift to the paper’s move from print to digital. They discuss what it means for the Times’s business and marketing strategy, what happens to newsroom culture when a star system takes hold, and what the move portends for journalism writ large. They also touch on Netflix’s upcoming earnings and what they’re likely to reveal about the state of streaming.
