Additionally, the NYT has adapted to its audience's needs through improvements to its website and use of social media.

The administration is turning to that approach after concluding that a coup in Iraq would be unlikely to succeed and that a proxy battle using local forces there would be insufficient to bring a change in power.But senior officials now acknowledge that any offensive would probably be delayed until early next year, allowing time to create the right military, economic and diplomatic conditions. These include avoiding summer combat in bulky chemical suits, preparing for a global oil price shock, and waiting until there is progress toward ending the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The Iraqi leader is unwilling to allow the kind of highly intrusive inspections needed to prove that he has no weapons of mass destruction.

  1. KORI
  2. KORI
  3. TERRA
  4. ARIELLEArticles prepare the readers so that they can understand the crisis when it happens and articles that forewarn readers.
  5. AMYConstantly reporting on the latest discoveries in the War on Terrorism, beginning back in 1990. A search for Osama Bin Laden between 1990 and 2001 pulled up TONS of articles, which show that the NYT clearly identified him as a threatExplains taliban, talks about issues in middle eastGets people familiar with the people and the region in general and why they are a threat to our nation
  6. AMY-new orleans is vulnerable, levees can be breached, bowl-shaped city
  7. PETEInexperienced rulers involved with terrorism, Bin Laden is a threat to America, started a campaign against Bin Laden in 2001
  8. PETE: For its part, Iraq has eased restrictions on foreign journalists, particularly television crews, in what some say is an effort to gain sympathy by having any bombing campaign broadcast to a world audience. About 25 television networks, including the main American ones, now have crews in Baghdad.

  10. ARIELLE
  11. KORIArticles that explain why or how the crisis happenedDepth and detail within the articleonline there are links to explanatory articles Even within the print edition they will make references to other articles that explain the issues in more detail Have reporters on the scene, ensuring accuracy to their best ability
  12. PETE
  13. PETE
  14. ARIELLE/KORIKORI INTRODUCES ARIELLE TAKES 5-7Some documents were edited and some appeared in full.Releasing limited information one at a time helps the reader sort through the information as opposed to overwhelming the reader with a bulk of information at once (Ariel) Website where cables are is easy to use and gives a summary for the readers
  15. ARIELLEHow did the NYT continue to cover the crisis; did it drop off the front page? -how did the website contribute to continual coverage
  16. the article and Ms. Miller's account also uncovered new information that suggested the journalistic practices of Ms. Miller and Times editors were more flawed than I had fearedMs. Miller had written a string of articles before the war - often based on the accounts of Bush administration officials and Iraqi defectors - strongly suggesting that Saddam Hussein was developing these weapons of mass destruction.When no evidence of them was found, her reporting, along with that of some other journalists, came under fire. She was accused of writing articles that helped the Bush administration make its case for war.TERRABlair mess up article--- 7165 words huge article on front pageThe NYT is not afraid to prove themselves wrong to get to the truth; their ultimate goal is to ensure accuracy. After the Blair incident, the NYT changed their news room culture and appointed a public editor and a standards editor, two positions that behave as active watchdogs.
  17. PETE
  18. AMY
  19. TERRA-November 22, 2010, page A1-journalist spends 5 days with troops in Afghanistan-highlights their life in the military -- makes war a reality for Americans back home and informs them on what life is like for our boys over there-part of a year long feature that follows the First Battalion, 87th Infantry of the 10th Mountain Division -- http://www.nytimes.com/interactive/world/battalion.html#/NYT/0Still in front page headlines at least every other day
  20. TERRA-each service member who has died-allows one to search by last name, state, or hometown, as well as Iraq or Afghanistan
  21. ARIELLE-strength of the website and use of multiple platforms of social media -have adapted to the news culture but unlike other news organizations who have fell subject to commentary and the 24/7 news cycle. The NYT has not done this and has stayed away from commentary just to fill the space
  22. AMY
  23. KORI- SMS texts for ppl who don't have internet or computer - they can subscribe to get text messages; not excluding anyone-use of social media shows they are open to change and catering to their audience
