From Bill Moyers:
The New York Times is running an editorial on its front page today, the first time the paper has done so since 1920, calling for greater regulation on guns in the aftermath of a spate of mass shootings.
In a statement, NYT Publisher Arthur Sulzberger, Jr. said this about the editors' decision:
"It has been many decades since The Times ran an editorial on Page One. We do so today to deliver a strong and visible statement of frustration and anguish about our country’s inability to come to terms with the scourge of guns. Even in this digital age, the front page remains an incredibly strong and powerful way to surface issues that demand attention. And, what issue is more important than our nation’s failure to protect its citizens?"
