New York Times public editor Margaret Sullivan on Tuesday celebrated the paper’s bolstered coverage of climate change.
Writing that “the survival of the planet ranks pretty high on my list of what matters,” Sullivan pointed to several new hires as evidence that the Times has improved its coverage of the environment.
“The Times’s renewed — and in fact, increased — commitment is a most welcome development,” she wrote. “I hope that the coverage will be approached with the sense of urgency that this dire situation demands.”
