2. What is the possitive poins of NYT than other media according to you?
Im not sure I completely understand the question, but I think there are many news outlets that do a very good job of reporting the news. The New York Times has
always placed great emphasis on international reporting and I think does a better job of it than most news organizations. The Times is also well known and
respected for its coverage of American politics, arts and culture, fashion and business. Unlike news organizations in some countries, The Times is independent
of the government, businesses or any political party. Even though we always have our critics, we strive to write the news as impartially and fairly as possible, and
that gives us credibility with our readers.
3. What is your job as deputy chief editor for INYT?
As Deputy Asia Editor of The New York Times, my jobis to work with the Asia Editor to oversee coverage of Asia for the organization online and in print. Based
in Hong Kong, we oversee news bureaus from Tokyo to Jakarta. We also oversee the production of the Asian editions of The International New York Times.
4. How does the process of news production in the New York Times, both in print or web version? I mean, after jurnalist write article, anyone who is
editing the news? And then what is the next step until the news was
published?
After a journalist writes an article, he or she files it to the assigning editor, which The Times calls a backfield editor. The backfield editor checks the story for
content, structure, balance, fairness, etc. and works with the reporter to make any needed changes. If the story is a very important story, higher editors may also get
involved, including the International Editor and the Executive Editor in New York. Then a copy editor reads the article again, fixing errors in grammar and
style, checking facts, and making sure the article is ready for readers. The copy editor also writes the headline and captions for the article. Another editor, called
the slot, reads the article again to check it over. Then the article is ready to be published in print and online.
5. Who decide the angle of the news? Is there check and recheck process to content of the news?
Usually there is a discussion between the reporter and the backfield editor on the article when it is first assigned that includes how the reporter will approach the
article and what topics should be covered. Sometimes this angle changes when the reporter is doing the reporting and frequently there is another conversation
between the reporter and editor before the writing begins, as well as during the editing process.
The checks and recheck are as described in the answer to question 4 above.
6. Is there daily editorial meeting in International New York Times? Via email or what?
The editors in the Hong Kong office of The New York Times have two daily editorial meetings, at 11 am and 2:30 pm. There are separate editorial meetings in
New York and Paris. We communicate our plans to the New York office by phone, email and IM.
7. What criteria news that worthy published?
The criteria are how important the news is and how interesting it is. As these categories can be very subjective, there is a lot of discussion among reporters and
editors about which subjects are worth covering. We have limited resources and cannot report on every story so we have to choose those that we think are most
important to our readers and those we are able to cover well.
8. Do you ever do not pass an news article to publish?
All the time. Frequently a reporter will have to start start reporting on a subject to find out whether there is a story there worth covering. Sometimes there isnt.
Sometimes a reporter will write an article, send it to the editor and the editor will decide the article needs more reporting and will ask the reporter to do more work
and try again.
9. How do you coordinate with the correspondent ?
Usually by telephone and email.
