And I think what you're hearing from both of us is we wish for more of that.
The first thing I want to say is whenever anyone has this conversation, I think the thing that doesn't come up enough or most times ever is, you know, we wrote a story today about Myanmar, and I think we're...
Now the world is in a fifth year of a civil war in Myanmar, and we've got a photographer on the ground there, Daniel Barahulek, and a reporter there who are telling the story of this brutal civil war in Myanmar.
You probably have not heard, you might have heard of Daniel's name.
He's pretty famous.
photographer, you would not have heard of the reporter's name.
I bet we had 70 people on the ground in Ukraine last year, fifth year of a grinding war that I can assure you, you know, the audience development models are not going to tell you that's the thing to cover.
No, I get that.
That's great.
And so I just like when people say like, oh, creators, people should get their news from creators.
You do need big honking institutions who are going to do the hard work of sending people places in as secure as possible a way with as much support as possible and as much expertise and sometimes in language and everything else it takes to do that as possible.
to get the public information about these really important things that are happening.
I just think that never comes up in the conversation.
And you know what that is?
It is really goddamn expensive to do that.
And so the model of The New York Times is we have a lot of really hardworking, extraordinary journalists who you may not have heard of yet and maybe...
their life's work is they want to report in a particular place.
And you may not hear of them, but they're doing wildly important work that really matters.
And we've got, we make stars, we hire stars.
We're thrilled to have stars.
