“The Weekly,” is a new TV show from The New York Times
that’s running Sundays on FX and later on Hulu.
The debut episode
focused on an article by Erica L. Green and Katie Benner
about a school in Louisiana that took advantage of
racial stereotypes in applications and falsified transcripts to send
underprivileged students to elite colleges, according to The Times.
“The Weekly” will
delve into one story each week with Times journalists who have reported on an
issue for months or years, The Times said. More than 30 reporters will appear
in the first season of “The Weekly,” the paper says.
“Television is
exciting, and (relatively) new to us, but it was not the novelty of trying
something different that attracted us. Quality journalism, a bedrock of our
democracy, is under attack like never before. We hope television is a powerful
weapon in this fight,” said a note from The Times on the show.
