Kathleen Kingsbury / @katiekings: The first Op-Ed page in The New York Times greeted the world on Sept. 21, 1970. Today, more than 50 years later, we at @nytopinion are retiring the name “Op-Ed.” As the Opinion editor, I'd like to tell you why. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Elise Hu / @elisewho: Really glad to see this. NYT is retiring the outdated term “op-ed” bc straight news pieces don't live in a fixed spot for editorials to be “opposite” of anymore. Gonna call “op-eds” what they are — guest essays — instead https://www.nytimes.com/...
@nytopinion: Today, after more than 50 years, we're retiring the term “Op-Ed.” “Terms like ‘Op-Ed’ are, by their nature, clubby newspaper jargon,” explains our Opinion editor, @katiekings. We're striving to be more inclusive in how we explain our work. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Brian Stelter / @brianstelter: No more Op-Eds at the NYT: “Editorials will still be called editorials, but the articles written by outside writers will be known going forward as ‘Guest Essays,’ a title that will appear prominently above the headline.” I think this is a big improvement. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Mathew Ingram / @mathewi: Having done informal surveys over the years, I'm willing to bet a large majority of people still think the “Op” in “Op-Ed” stands for “Opinion” rather than “Opposite,” so probably a good idea to lose it anyway https://twitter.com/...
Jackson O'Bryan / New York Post: The New York Times is retiring the word ‘op-ed’
Adriana Lacy / @adriana_lacy: NYT is retiring the word Op-Ed. All publishers should do the same. It's confusing, it's antiquated and most importantly, in the digital world, no one is reading these essays opposite of the editorial page! https://www.nytimes.com/...
Max Boot / @maxboot: I agree that “op-ed” makes no literal sense in the digital world (there is nothing to be “opposite” of) but, as a former op-ed editor, I lament the loss of this hallowed term. I suppose if anyone has the right to retire it, however, it's the newspaper that invented it. https://twitter.com/...
Kathleen Kingsbury / @katiekings: The Op-Ed page and the term itself are increasingly a throwback from an older age and a print newspaper design. We don't like jargon in our articles; we don't want it above them, either. We are striving to be more inclusive in explaining how and why we do our work.
@newslitproject: 1/ Being able to tell the difference between news & opinion is an absolute must to be news-literate. Steps like this are also helpful to readers 👇🏾 #NewsLiteracy https://www.nytimes.com/...
Ariel Edwards-Levy / @aedwardslevy: op-eds, you've been chop-ed https://twitter.com/...
Erik Wemple / @erikwemple: NYT opinions folks are tossing the term “Op-Eds,” which makes sense. They are replacing it with “Guest Essays,” which sounds like something that comes from the hotel industry: https://www.nytimes.com/...
Hank Stuever / @hankstuever: An article, an editorial, an op-ed, a column, a review, a story, and my personal favorite from readers, “your little write-up in the paper.” Nobody knows the terms anymore, but we used to. Now? Content. It's all just content. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Dan Froomkin / @froomkin: The obvious next step: Briefly explaining why this guest was given a megaphone for this essay. See: https://presswatchers.org/... https://twitter.com/...
Elana Zak / @elanazak: After 50 years, @nytopinion is retiring the phrase Op-Ed in favor of the term Guest Essays. “We don't like jargon in our articles; we don't want it above them, either,” explains @katiekings. https://www.nytimes.com/...
@revkin: Bravo, @nytopinion crew, for this particularly: “We want not only individual essays to have intention, but also the collective report itself to have intention.” Too often in the past, sharp-edged op-eds seemed dropped into the public pool to splash more than drive discourse. https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Beaujon / @abeaujon: NYT retires the term “Op Ed,” will call them “Guest Essays” instead https://www.nytimes.com/...
Cliff Levy / @cliffordlevy: BIG NYT CHANGE: The first Op-Ed page in The New York Times greeted the world on Sept. 21, 1970. Now, The Times is retiring the designation “Op-Ed.” Our opinion editor @katiekings explains why. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Matt Friedman / @mattfrieds: The term “op-ed” came from the two-page opinion spread that existed in most newspapers 20+ years ago. Submitted pieces ran opposite the editorial page. Readers understood that staffers wrote the left-hand pieces & guests wrote the right-hand pieces. That has gotten totally lost. https://twitter.com/...
@petersterne: NYT is renaming “op-eds” to “guest essays,” which seems like a smart change. Calling it a “guest essay” makes the relationship between the op-ed writer and the publication much more clear. https://twitter.com/...
Harry Siegel / @harrysiegel: I've been explaining for YEARS to my students, who aren't mostly print natives, that Op-Ed stands for “opposite the editorials”—and then explaining what an editorial is and why. Op-Ed is a term that's outlived its use—and I suspect that editorials are next. https://twitter.com/...
Carl Quintanilla / @carlquintanilla: “.. in the words of John B. Oakes, a long-ago predecessor of mine who drove the creation of Op-Ed, ‘Diversity of opinion is the lifeblood of democracy. ... The minute we begin to insist that everyone think the same way we think, our democratic way of life is in danger.’” https://twitter.com/...
Kathleen Kingsbury / @katiekings: That's why we'll be introducing a new term to our pages. Editorials will still be called editorials, but outside contributors' pieces in @nytopinion will be known going forward as “Guest Essays,” a title that will appear above the headline.
Rubina Madan Fillion / @rubinafillion: Most @nytopinion readers don't realize that Op-Ed stands for “opposite the editorial page.” Today we're retiring the term. We're also launching a new design to further highlight the differences between Opinion and news. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Bob Cronin / Newser: ‘Op-Ed’ Loses Its Place at Times
Clara Jeffery / @clarajeffery: Simple change, which brings a lot of clarity to most readers. Not that there still won't be controversies about selection but... https://twitter.com/...
Jill Filipovic / @jillfilipovic: There are people on here who are going to be mad / annoyed about this, and I can already predict who they are, but what I don't yet know is how they're going to justify being mad about this: https://www.nytimes.com/...
Sara Fischer / @sarafischer: FWIW, sources tell me a change like this has been contemplated since the James Bennet fiasco last summer. https://twitter.com/...
Tony Fratto / @tonyfratto: I doubt very much that this will spare @nytimes from criticism when it offers its platform to amplify rangy views. https://twitter.com/...
Amanda Katz / @katzish: This seems like a good move. Regular people are really confused about the difference between a news piece (including analysis that can be opinion-y), a Times editorial, and an outside opinion piece. https://twitter.com/...
Alastair Coote / @_alastair: “Hence the new Guest Essay label. Readers immediately grasped this term during research sessions and intuitively understood what it said about the relationship between the writer and The Times.” User research: not just for testing out your new UI! https://www.nytimes.com/...
Jody Avirgan / @jodyavirgan: Fascinating. I really do think that product changes that are realistic about the way media is consumed today, rather than beholden to tradition or convention, can go a long way. https://twitter.com/...
David Beard / @dabeard: Op-Ed, the term that in newspaper-only days meant “opposite the editorial page,” has died a natural death, @nytopinion announced. It was 50. It is survived by the straight-up, different-font, platform-agnostic “Opinion.” https://www.nytimes.com/... @katiekings @rubinafillion
Jay Owens / @hautepop: The New York Times is retiring the old print media term “op-ed” (which never actually stood for “opinion editorial” btw, much as it seems to) - in favour of “Guest Essays” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Dave Levinthal / @davelevinthal: Oh, there will be op-eds about this. https://twitter.com/...
Matthew Yglesias / @mattyglesias: In which @katiekings wisely kills the “op-ed.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Mark Berman / @markberman: the NYT is abandoning the term “op-ed,” which is, hilariously, a phrase that originates from things appearing opposite the editorial page in print https://www.nytimes.com/...
Sara Fischer / @sarafischer: 🚨 NEW from @nytimes Opinion Editor @katiekings —NYT retiring the term *Op-Ed* —Term no longer relevant in digital world —Editorials will still be called editorials, but the articles written by outside writers will be known going forward as “Guest Essays” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Penny Riordan / @pennyriordan1: “Terms like Op-Ed are, by their nature, clubby newspaper jargon...” and readers “immediately grasped” the new label of Guest Essay. 👏👏Bravo NYT for finally making this change! 👏👏And I hope other newspapers do as well: https://www.nytimes.com/...
Mcc / @mcclure111: For a long time, the NYT has been about high quality, important journalism mixed with some of the worst and most harmful writing on the planet in their op ed section. They're now trying to erase the difference, now calling their op eds “guest essays”. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Matthew Gertz / @mattgertz: Can't believe they left “Guessays” just sitting there on the table tbqh https://twitter.com/...
Annemarie Dooling / @travelinganna: “In the digital world, in which millions of Times subscribers absorb the paper's journalism online, there is no geographical “Op-Ed,” just as there is no geographical “Ed” for Op-Ed to be opposite to” https://www.nytimes.com/...
Kathleen Kingsbury / @katiekings: Impulses that made Op-Ed successful 50 years ago are still in play. It's a space where voices can be heard + respected, where ideas can linger, to be given serious consideration In that spirit, I'm pleased to share our new roster of contributing writers https://www.nytco.com/...
Harry Siegel / @harrysiegel: As a former editorial writer and op-ed editor and now the opinion editor for the Daily Beast and a columnist (another print term) for the Daily News, I'd argue that “editorial” is also jargon—a term and a type of writing that no longer makes sense it its own right if it ever did https://twitter.com/...
Sister Toldjah Le Pew / @sistertoldjah: Will the “straight news” pieces at the NYT now be referred to as “op/eds”? Because I think that would be a big improvement. https://twitter.com/...

Thomas Baekdal / @baekdal: *sigh* ... there is not a single reader in the world who agrees with this. — German media groups file Apple antitrust complaint as it makes privacy changes https://www.ft.com/...
Robert Bateman / @robertjbateman: Facebook and friends have lodged a German antitrust complaint against Apple's iOS changes. The FT compares the German complaint to one made by France Digitale in March. But that complaint was fundamentally different. (https://digitalprivacy.news/ ...) /1 https://www.ft.com/...

Adriana Lee / WWD: What Apple's Launch of iOS 14.5 Today Means for Brands
Rebecca Heilweil / Vox: Why the new iOS update is such a big deal
@anthony: I never knew what IDFA is, which is how you're tracked across apps on your phone. I learned that and so much more in @JoannaStern's exclusive interview with Apple's SVP of software engineering Craig Federighi on the company's new app-tracking controls: https://www.wsj.com/...
Jason Cipriani / ZDNet: Apple rolls out iOS 14.5 with controversial privacy feature
Vivek Wadhwa / @wadhwa: This one feature makes me want to switch back to an iPhone. Strongly support Apple's efforts to protect us from Zuck Vader https://twitter.com/...
Pui-Wing Tam / @puiwingtam: Here's all the ins/outs/ups/downs of Apple's new ad tracking privacy feature, which we may see start popping up on iPhones today. @bxchen https://www.nytimes.com/...
Anthony Ha / TechCrunch: Apple's App Tracking Transparency feature has arrived — here's what you need to know
Joanna Stern / @joannastern: I interviewed Apple's Craig Federighi about his bold iOS 14.5 privacy move. All I got was 15 minutes with him, which turned into a fairly lively and fun—if I do say so myself— 8-minute video about privacy. https://www.youtube.com/...
Tom Warren / @tomwarren: iOS 14.5 is out now and includes new Face ID mask features and Apple's App Tracking Transparency https://www.theverge.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Katie Canales / Insider: Apple will finally let you unlock your iPhone with Face ID while wearing a mask, but only if you have an Apple Watch
Wesley Hilliard / AppleInsider: Apple releases iOS 14.5 and iPadOS 14.5 with Apple Watch unlock, App Tracking Transparency
Dan Seifert / @dcseifert: what is the reasonable argument to not use the global “no” switch in the App Tracking settings in iOS 14.5 and instead decline it on an app by app basis?
Jack Nicas / @jacknicas: @MikeIsaac Apple and Facebook's fight intensifies with the release of a new iPhone feature today that requires apps to get permission to track people on other apps. Most people are expected to block that tracking — and Facebook isn't happy. @bxchen explains here: https://www.nytimes.com/...

SiriusXM acquires 99% Invisible, producer of the highly successful podcast by the same name with 500M+ downloads, to become a “foundational” part of Stitcher — The deal, for one of the industry's earliest success stories, is the latest salvo in an era of rapid consolidation.

Ashley Carman / The Verge: SiriusXM acquires Roman Mars' 99% Invisible and a bigger stake in the podcasting world
@stitcher: Welcome to the family @romanmars & @99piorg! 🎙️💕 All of 99pi's new and old episodes will still be available for free on Stitcher and wherever you get your pods! https://www.nytimes.com/...
@nytimes: SiriusXM has acquired the company behind the hit podcast “99% Invisible.” Roman Mars, the show's host and founder, said the sale was an attempt to free himself from administrative duties and to secure greater resources for his staff. https://www.nytimes.com/...
Joel Werner / @joelwerner: Huge news in podcasting today... @romanmars sells @99piorg to @SIRIUSXM/@Stitcher, will donate $1mil to @prx over 4 years! https://www.nytimes.com/...
@radiotopia: We have some news. Our co-founder Roman Mars is selling his company 99% Invisible to SiriusXM. The 99% Invisible podcast was the founding inspiration for our network, and we'll continue to champion creative, independently owned podcasts.
David Gura / @davidgura: “What does it mean that Facebook is getting into audio? Or that Apple is changing the ‘subscribe’ button to a ‘follow’ button? I don't know and I don't want to figure it out.” https://www.nytimes.com/...
@prx: Our partner Roman Mars is selling his company 99% Invisible to SiriusXM. We're grateful to have been an essential partner for 99% Invisible through the years, and for Roman's commitment to numerous independent audio producers through @Radiotopia.
Michael J. Miraflor / @michaelmiraflor: “Roman Mars is selling his company 99% Invisible, Inc. to SiriusXM.” Oof, this one hurts. 99% Invisible is one of the all time great creative and design podcasts. SiriusXM is not a paywall that is in my top consideration set, given all of my other subs.
Brad Hill / RAIN News: SiriusXM acquires 99% Invisible Inc.
Nick Quah / @nwquah: technically speaking, Stitcher already had street cred increasingly contested cred, but cred nonetheless https://www.nytimes.com/...

Andrew Marchand / New York Post: Turner's power play for NHL's TV rights has significant ramifications
Gone Puck Wild / @fsgonepuckwild: Kinda big news. NBA on TNT is very entertaining and they really know how to use personalities from the game on their broadcast teams and in-studio hits. A real innovation for TNT who has really only done Basketball for team sports https://twitter.com/...
Rich Greenfield / @richlightshed: Linear TV ratings collapsing, #cordcutting accelerating, RSNs in meltdown mode and the @NHL national rights go up 3x driven by ESPN and Turner — bet NOBODY had Turner in the sports rights bingo game hockey on @hbomax feels odd if thats next... https://twitter.com/...
Brian Steinberg / Variety: WarnerMedia Poised to Pick Up NHL Package as NBC Exits Hockey Rights
Zach Halverson / @zachhalverson: The NHL may be coming to TNT. Not sure if CBS would be part of this at all or not but woah. It was looking like NBC was a lock and in the unlikely scenario that didn't happen FOX seemed like the favorite but Turner comes outta nowhere. The NHL is gonna look very different. https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Marchand / @andrewmarchand: Turner is expected to get the new deal, including the Stanley Cup Finals, according to sources. https://twitter.com/...
@aschnitt53: I don't think this is much of a loss. I think other networks can do a lot more to grow the game and interest in the league than NBC has, which isn't much. https://twitter.com/...
Dan Marrazza / @danmarrazza: It goes without saying, but ESPN & now Turner Sports getting in on NHL broadcasts creates tremendous opportunities for broadcasters & on camera talent.

Jay Rigdon / Awful Announcing: Turner reportedly “likely” to land remaining NHL rights as NBC withdraws from the bidding

Discussion:
Oliver Darcy / @oliverdarcy: Fox gently acknowledges that its coverage about Biden supposedly trying to force Americans to eat less red meat wasn't accurate: “A graphic and a script incorrectly implied that it was part of Biden's plan for dealing with climate change. That is not the case.” https://twitter.com/...
Andrew Kaczynski / @kfile: The false meme pushed by several GOP politicians, media figures, and Fox News the Biden admin. wants to make Americans eat 90% less red meat is based on a paper published before Biden even won the Democratic nomination. It has nothing to w/Biden at all. https://www.cnn.com/... https://twitter.com/...
Daniel Dale / @ddale8: There is no Biden plan to force Americans to eat less red meat. The policy Fox discussed on at least five shows on Friday and Saturday, and that Republican governors and members of Congress have denounced, is completely imaginary. A fact check: https://www.cnn.com/...

Joe Walsh / @walshfreedom: Attacking an imaginary foe. Today's Republican Party (and Fox News), in a nutshell: https://twitter.com/...
Daniel Dale / @ddale8: Republican members of Congress, governors, Fox hosts and Don Jr. are denouncing a Biden red meat policy that does not actually exist. My look at how the nonsense machine turned an obscure academic paper into a fake Biden threat to your cookout freedom: https://www.cnn.com/...
Andrew Kaczynski / @kfile: This isn't part of any recommendation or requirement pitched by the Biden administration. It's just based off a false Daily Mail article. https://www.snopes.com/... https://twitter.com/...
@pamkeithfl: This is why Fox News is battery acid poured on the very concept of a democracy. Its purpose is to keep people angry at half the population. More than that, it whips up that anger to incite reprisal & violence. It's insane to give platform to this divisive fact-free propaganda https://twitter.com/...
