I'm Dan Barry, and I'm a longtime reporter with The New York Times.
I've been here for 30 years, and I've seen a lot of things change.
I was here before there was a website.
But one thing hasn't changed at all,
and that's the mission of The New York Times, to follow the facts wherever they lead.
And if that means publishing something a government or a leader or a celebrity doesn't want to aired,
that's not our concern.
If you believe in the importance of fact-driven reporting,
You can support it by becoming a New York Times subscriber.
This is The Opinions, a show that brings you a mix of voices from New York Times Opinion.
You've heard the news.
Here's what to make of it.
I'm David Leonhart, an editorial director in New York Times Opinion.
And this is America's Next Story.
A series about the ideas that once held our country together and those that might do so again.
We the people, in order to form a more perfect union.
Ask not what your country can do for you.
Ask what you can do for your country.
America is too great for small dreams.
Change is what's happening in America.
