** ALT0b ...that Katrin Bennhold of the The New York Times wants to empower young people by presenting news in short videos?

Policy compliance:

Hook eligibility:

  • Cited: Yes
  • Interesting: Yes
  • Other problems: Yes
QPQ: Done.

Overall: Everything meets the checked off criteria. I will leave the choice of hook to the promoter. SL93 (talk) 00:03, 31 May 2026 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment from passing promoter @Munfarid1 and SL93: These hooks don't read as neutral to me. ALT2's "to show readers the extent to which hatred and extremism have become much more common than many people realize" assumes Bennhold's statement as truth; ALT0 does the same with Bennhold's pronouncement on news fatigue. ALT1 strikes me as failing WP:DYKINT; it does not seem unusual or intriguing that a New York Times writer would be interviewed on a major broadcaster on U.S. policy. I'd suggest recasting the two remaining hooks in a neutral tone to facilitate selection by a promoter. Dclemens1971 (talk) 14:34, 15 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
    • @Dclemens1971 and SL93: Thanks for your comments, I was not aware of this subtle distinction. As recommended, I have just rephrased ALT0a and ALT2a. Munfarid1 (talk) 19:05, 16 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
      • @Munfarid1: Thanks for the response. I don't think the revisions work, though. ALT0a sounds like marketing material for the NYT ("did you know an NYT employee thinks their products do this good thing?") and ALT2a seems to need more explanation, perhaps to explain briefly that it was controversial that Bennhold was interviewing him.

        • @Dclemens1971 and SL93: Thanks for the quick response. I don't understand your objection to ALT0a, though, as it specifically talks about newsletters intended to curb news and reading fatigue. This is a fact mentioned in the source, referring to a current discussion about news and IMHO not marketing talk.- Anyway, as we are both trying to find a solution, you might find ALT0b more appropriate. - In ALT2b, I have tried to express the controversial nature of the question why she interviewed a right-wing extremist. - As further alternatives, I have added ALT3 and ALT4, with the latter straightforward, and a purposely intriguing wording. Hoping these options will lead to an appropriate option for promotion. Munfarid1 (talk) 12:09, 17 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
          • The hooks about the Sellner interview I still don't understand and it doesn't seem like more explanation is helping. On the short news videos, "wants to empower young people" reads once again like marketing language. However, ALT3 goes too far the other way by highlighting a bit of criticism in a way that seems to emphasize it unduly and run afoul of WP:DYKBLP. Finally, on ALT4, I see a potentially interesting hook here (something along the lines of "... that 'journalist Katrin Bennhold believes that "in Sweden, men can have it all"?), but the hook is based on a column WP:HEADLINE, which is not considered a reliable source and which are generally not written by the columnist herself; her actual article does not put this phrase in her own voice.

            • Thanks again for your comments. I have added ALT3a, avoiding the strong worded part of the criticism and ALT4a and ALT4b, where I have tried to stay true to the title of the book chapter and article respectively. The NYT article being the source for the title, this ALT4b refers to the article she wrote, not only the title. To reflect this hook and her research about gender issues in the article, I have added the following sentence to the section /Further activities/: "One of the articles she wrote for the NYT based on her research about gender issues in Europe was titled "In Sweden, Men can have it all" and was reprinted in an academic book for selected reading."- In another attempt of improvement, I have rephrased ALT0c. - Hopefully one of these will do, Munfarid1 (talk) 11:36, 23 June 2026 (UTC)[reply]
