Dean Baquet, executive editor New York Times

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC NewsLatest broadcast: on BBC Parliament

Stephen Sackur is in New York city to speak to Dean Baquet, the executive editor of the New York Times. The paper has been at the forefront of reporting into alleged Russian meddling in the 2016 US presidential election and the first months of the Trump presidency. President Trump has regularly criticised the Times and accused it, and other media, of propagating 'fake news'.

Dean Baquet is asked how far the public can trust the New York Times's regular use of anonymous sources to report on the inner workings of the White House and whether its claim to be fair in its reporting stands up to scrutiny. Show less
