Power and the Media in US Politics - Simon Schama & Dean Baquet, 2020 | Intelligence Squared

Former executive editor of The New York Times Dean Baquet and historian Simon Schama examine the role of the media in recent decades in US history. Focusing on the Trump administration, Baquet takes us deep inside the decision-making process at The New York Times at a moment of unprecedented tension between the White House and the American press. The conversation explores questions such as: How do you maintain impartiality as a media organisation targeted by the President himself? What is the role of entertainment in the media landscape? And what do you do in the face of algorithms that thrive on hate?

This event was recorded in 2020 as part of Intelligent Times, a live event series collaboration between The New York Times and Intelligence Squared, bringing together leading New York Times journalists and thought leaders to discuss the key issues facing the globe today.
