The New York Times has changed a lot in the past 10 years, embracing digital subscriptions and growing into online video and specialty areas like cooking. It has not been enough to prepare the company for the future, according to the paper’s own 2020 report     1     on Tuesday.

“While the past two years have been a time of significant innovation, the pace must speed up,” the authors wrote in the opening of the report. “Too often, digital progress has been accomplished through workarounds; now we must tear apart the barriers. We must     2     between mission and tradition: what we do because it’s essential to our values and what we do because we’ve always done it.”

The report indicates how far the paper has come in     3     itself to the digital age while also pointing out what needs to be done.

The areas that need     4     are focused on the newsroom, particularly in the tools and internal structures that journalists must deal with to produce their work.

Many of the report’s recommendations are     5     to anyone who closely follows the Times or newspapers in general: A(n)     6     away from print’s, outsized importance on the newsroom’s operations, better ways to include multimedia in stories and a renewed effort at creating a more diverse newsroom with a variety of skills.

The paper has an ongoing goal that started in 2016 of doubling digital revenue to $800 million by 2020.“To     7     our future, we need to expand considerably our number of subscribers by 2020.”

The report also calls into question the formats on which the Times — and most other newspapers — rely, namely a mix of news stories and features that are text heavy. “Too much of our daily report remains     8     by long texts.” the report states.

The report stresses that the Times should do more to educate readers. “Our readers are     9     for advice from The Times. Too often, we don’t offer it, or offer it only in print-centric forms.” the report states. Perhaps the most interesting part of the report comes at the very bottom in the form of comments from the paper’s own journalists. Reporters said they would like to see     10     in choice of how to tell certain stories, and some disagreement about what kind of tone the Times should embrace going forward.

5 . Complaints and Appeals

UNSW Global is committed to delivering a high standard of education and training services to all of its students. One way that UNSW Global fulfills this commitment is by ensuring that all students, both domestic and international, have access to a forcefully-expressed and fair complaints and appeals process. The process for how complaints and appeals are dealt with under the Complaints and Appeals Policy, is extracted below.

7 . Here are four books recommended by one of the most respected editors from Reader’s Digest. If you have time to dip yourselves into the books, they can surely offer much food for thought.

Face It
Debbie Harry
HARPERCOLLINS

Picture this: it’s the late 1970s and the punk music scene is starting to take hold. The band releases the album ParallelLines, which becomes the greatest hit. Everyone wants to attend her concert and some teenage girls even dream to be her. Now 75, Harry bares all about herself in Face It, starting from her childhood. Part shocking, this book is as humorous, moving and vigorous as its subject.

Scatterbrain
Henning Beck
NEWSOUTHBOOKS

If there is no obvious connection among what we see, the brain will substitute in the rest of the information without you even noticing, Beck says in the chapter Memory. In this “user’s guide for your brain”, he argues that mistakes are the keys to success. He combines science with brain-boosting advice and real-life stories to take the reader on a fascinating adventure through human memory.

You’ re Not Listening
Kate Murphy
PENGUINERANDOM HOUSE

When was the last time you listened to someone? Really listened without thinking about what you wanted to say next? And when was the last time someone really listened to you? Compared with talking, listening isn’t considered so important, argues journalist Kate Murphy, but she insists it is actually the more powerful position in communication. Her insights could transform your conversations, your relationships and your life.
