New York Times Editor Wants More ‘Amazon’ Stories

Re/code: New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet says it’s his job to encourage the newsroom to produce more pieces like its August story on Amazon’s workplace practices, a tome-length feature rich with employee anecdotes that described the tech company as a pressure-filled panopticon. “That Amazon story got … I think four million views? It’s my job to do as many ‘Amazons’ as possible,” he said, citing the impact of the piece, which was the most commented-on article in the history of the Times.
