Dean Baquet: Daily Routine

Running The New York Times means 6:30am wakeups, 9:30am news meetings, and no time for distractions—just enterprise journalism at its sharpest.

American journalist Dean Baquet either has the best job in the world or the worst job in the world. It depends on how you look at it. He is the Executive Editor of The New York Times, one of the most successful and prestigious media brands in history; a publication that’s continuing to thrive with growing digital subscriptions and global headlines.
