Canada Today: A Showcase of Journalism by The New York Times
— In The New York Times Magazine, Mitch Moxley writes
that the Canadian Football League (the current champions, the Ottawa Redblacks, play a few hundred meters from my home and office) is "like American football in the way Canada itself is like America: just similar enough to arouse what Freud called the ‘narcissism of small differences.’" — The Stratford Festival is performing a steamy, feminist version of "Bakkhai." How steamy?
The Times also put money into new ways to tell stories, like 360 video, virtual reality and podcasts.
Going forward, I’m going to be experimenting with other ideas, like delving into the archives of The
Times to find Canada stories from the past and new ways for you to contribute to its contents.
