WASHINGTON — In an effort to win back their support, the publisher of The New York Times sent a “personal note” to readers who canceled subscriptions over the publication’s hiring of Bret Stephens, a former opinion writer at The Wall Street Journal and a denier of mainstream climate science.
In an email that went out Friday afternoon, Arthur Sulzberger Jr. said he wanted to “provide a bit more context” about the Times’ decision to hire Stephens. The email, first reported on by Politico and later sent to HuffPost by a former subscriber, appears to have gone out to all those who cited Stephens in their decision to cancel.
“First, it’s worth underscoring that The Times’s newsroom, which functions separately from our Opinion department and is led by executive editor Dean Baquet, has sharply expanded the team of reporters and editors who cover climate change,” Sulzberger wrote. “No subject is more vital.”
Sulzberger goes on to provide a number of examples of the newspaper’s climate coverage ― journalism, he said, that is “unrivaled in its sophistication and imagination.”
The Times hired Bret Stephens, a conservative columnist who identifies as a “climate agnostic,” last month — a move many argued conflicts with its mission of publishing the truth. Michael E. Mann, a climate scientist at Pennsylvania State University, launched the hashtag #ShowYourCancellation — and a number of readers did just that.
In his debut column, titled “Climate of Complete Certainty,” Stephens — who Vox recently dubbed a “climate change bullshitter” — calls the 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit by which Earth has warmed since 1880 “modest.” Leading climate scientists, including Mann, responded with an open letter blasting the Times for allowing Stephens to publish “inaccurate and misleading” statements on climate change.
As the publication has done previously, Sulzberger defended hiring Stephens in his email Friday. He said that the Times’ opinion pages “remain an independent and unblinking forum for debate from a wide range of viewpoints among open-minded, informed writers and readers” and that it is “very fortunate to have a principled, independent-minded conservative writer like Bret Stephens join our team.”
Stephens continued:
Our editorial page editor, James Bennet, and I believe that this kind of debate, by challenging our assumptions and forcing us to think harder about our positions, sharpens all our work and benefits our readers. This does not mean that The Times will publish any commentary. Some points of view are not welcome, including those promoting prejudice or denying basic truths about our world. But it does mean that, in the coming years, we aim to further enrich the quality of our debate with other honest and intelligent voices, including some currently underrepresented in our pages. If you continue to read The Times, you will encounter such voices — not just as contributors, but as new staff columnists.
I’m grateful for the support you have provided to our journalism in the past, and I hope you may consider supporting it again in the future. You’ll always have a home here at The Times and we welcome your feedback at opinion.feedback@nytimes.com.
Of all the people who canceled a subscription since Stephens was hired, less than 6 percent cited the columnist as their reason, a NYT spokesperson told Politico’s Hadas Gold.
This suggests to me that a lot of people actually cancelled their subscriptions https://t.co/FyrAB6Vidy

In their open letter early this month, Mann, climate scientist Katherine Hayhoe and dozens of other scientists urged the Times to apply the same rigorous fact-checking to editorial writers as it does to its news reporters.
“Facts are still facts, no matter where in the paper they appear,” they wrote.

The contemporary corporate board as the top leadership and directorial role plays a significant role in advising and monitoring organizational management, overseeing business strategy, guiding businesses toward the right direction and achieving expected business results. Due to the “VUCA” characteristics -complexity, uncertainty, ambiguity and velocity of the digital era, the directorship in any organization becomes more critical and challenging. How to explore the boardroom fundamental via the set of inquiries in order to improve its effectiveness?
Is the Board of Directors monitoring and evaluating management and operational performance to ensure efficient and effective progress toward objectives and compliance with operational and management parameters? Ultimately the board’s performance is reflected in the performance of the organization. However, there are shorter-term perspectives through which one can assess whether the board is effective. Because if the board is effective then so too should be management and the activities of the organization. Going a little deeper though it is the effectiveness of the Board of Directors in delegating to the senior management team and holding them accountable that supports the management team in achieving outcomes. Digital boards need to focus more on: (a) an integral and increasingly important aspect of business strategy development; (b) an integral and increasingly important aspect of ongoing business viability; and(c) business capability development. They should monitor and evaluate management and operational performance to ensure efficient and effective progress toward objectives and compliance with operational management parameters.
Good boards advise and get all those fundamentals right. They take compliance lens to ensure nothing is broken; great boards set the digital principles, accelerate business performance, and improve organizational maturity. In a world of well-defined problems, directors are required to exercise leadership influence over volatility, manage uncertainty, simplify complexity, resolve ambiguity, and to direct the organization to the long-term prosperity.
