The New York Times has said that it will retire the term 'op-ed' and replace it with 'guest essay', a rebrand that follows a string of furious controversies in the newspaper's Opinion section.Opinion Editor Kathleen Kingsbury announced the change in a column on Monday, calling the term op-ed 'clubby newspaper jargon' and adding 'we are striving to be far more inclusive in explaining how and why we do our work.'Kingsbury explained that first op-ed page of guest contributions appeared in the Times in 1970, and was so named because 'it appeared opposite the editorial page

As long as the Ochs-Sulzberger family both owns the ny times and doesn't care if it is profitable nothing will change. To this day I cannot fathom why several decades ago Mexico's Carlos Slim bailed out the times buying several hundreds of millions of non-votinig stock. There must have been something gained by this savvy businessman to justify becoming a second-class owner but it has remained well hidden.

They are just making clear that no "guest" will be invited to write anything in opposition to a New York Times editorial.

The New York Times wants to be "more inclusive." What a joke. The NYT is a wretched Marxist rag and always will be.

They can't bring themselves to call a spade ''a spade.'' They must call it a garden implement. Fruity twits.

The nyslims is a dying adventure... and no amount of "retooling" will bring back it's readership...just as the woke chicago tribune is going out of business...so now the nyslims is gasping for air...I like to quote President Trump... "the fake news media...just doesn't get it"...WE the people know truth when WE read it... and it ain't in the nyslims...

The New York Times isn't news. Its propaganda. Everyone here knows whenever a Times article is presented on this site, its for criticism. The Times is a bad sick joke.
The New York Times wants to be more inclusive? For them, that would mean inviting more hardcore radicals to write for them. The Times is so far out in left field, they aren't in the same ball park anymore. This move will put them in a different universe.

As someone else described it, the NYT is now the Pravda of the Democrat Party. Hannah Nicole-Jones, mother of The 1619 Project, is acting editor.

I'm guessing clicks (and therefore ad revenue) are still dropping like a rock.

If the NYT management are so weak and ineffectual that they let their employees ‘drive out’ columnists they disagree with then they really aren’t running a newspaper. They are building a commune.

More censorship by the know-it-all leftists?! Is there any group with more closed minds than today's group-think lefties?! Their group is like little children with hands over their ears as they lay on the floor kicking and screaming, I can't hear you! ...''Liberals,'' used to be totally open to Hearing and reasoning every point of view in order to discern the best.
