This week, our #NYTReadalong guest is Andrew Das, New York Times assistant editor for international sports. Neil Parekh is the guest host. Our focus: the World Cup.
Andrew is coordinating The New York Times’ coverage of the World Cup in Qatar. He’ll give us a behind-the-scenes look at how The New York Times is covering the tournament and we’ll review several specific pieces.
We’ll also take a look at the New York Times Magazine’s 10 Best Actors of 2022. It’s beautiful online as well as in print.
Here are the World Cup features we’ll focus on:
