The New York Times
December 30-31, 2006
The press is a tool of attention that has the power to direct our personal, public, and political concerns.
The New York Times is specifically unique as a newspaper because of its revered history, its impressive access to tangible and intangible resources, and because it is pioneering web based content.
During the process of creating and recreating the NYTimes every minute, hour, and day, images rotate and disappear. Text is also changed. These changes happen invisibly without transparency, documentation, or notation.
This particular, new process of production is interesting because in looking at what disappears or is replaced one can see the bias' of the Times, its editors, and its intended audience of readers.
This blog is devoted to making the web based NYTimes’ use of visual and verbal language more transparent. It is intended to be a productive forum for understanding through critique the way new technologies and modes of production are changing the news media, our everyday language, expectations, identities, and politics.
The content will be updated almost daily, just like the NYTimes.
