CELEBRITY REPORT Winfrey, Lionsgate to adapt ‘1619 Project’ for TV, film “1619 Project,” the New York Times’ award-winning, multimedia series that examines slavery’s lingering effects on contemporary life, is about to go wides creen with the help of Oprah Winfrey and Lionsgate. Creator Nikole Hannah-Jones, a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist for the New York Times Magazine, and NYT will work with Winfrey and Lionsgate to adapt “The 1619 Project” into a set of feature films and tele vision shows. Hannah-Jones tweeted about the partner ship Wednesday morning, writing, “It’s been almost a year since we published the #1619 Project, the most important work of my life,” followed by her excitement to “bring this work on slavery’s legacy to tv and film!” The New York Times Company released its own announcement about the project. “One of the most impactful and thought- provoking works of journalism of the past decade, The Times Magazine’s ‘1619 Project’ was a landmark undertaking that connected the centrality of slavery in history with an unflinching account of the brutal racism that endures in so many aspects of American life today,” the statement read. “We took very seriously our duty to find TV and film partners that would respect and honor the work and mission of ‘The 1619 Proj ect’ that understood our vision and deep moral obligation to doing justice to these stories,” Hannah-Jones said in the same statement. “I am excited for this opportunity to extend the breadth and reach of ‘The 1619 Project’ and to introduce these stories of Black resistance and resilience to even more American households.” Initiated by Hannah-Jones for the New York Times Magazine, the project consists of various essays that trace different parts of daily life back to their roots in slavery. A podcast supplements the essays with five episodes that discuss them. In addition, 17 literary works composed by contempo rary Black writers accompany the essays, inspired by various events within the 400- year timeline of slavery. Hannah-Jones and Winfrey will produce all adapted content alongside Caitlin Roper, an editor of “The 1619 Project” and head of scripted entertainment at the New York Times. Winfrey expressed her honor to be involved in the adaptation in a tweet, recall ing that she “stood in tearful applause for the profound offering that [the project] was giv ing our culture and nation.” The project went live in August 2019. A timeline for its adaptation has not yet been specified. Tribune News Service Network: Ex-Fox anchor Smith joins CNBC for weeknight program Former Fox News Channel anchor Shepard Smith will join CNBC for a week- night program, the network announced Wednesday. “The News with Shepard Smith” will fea ture “fact-based storytelling,” the network said, and put Smith back in the 7 p.m. East ern time slot where he was during the early part of his career at Fox News. CNBC says the show will launch in the fall. Smith abruptly quit Fox last fall after being at the network since its start. NBC News has recently talked about giving CNBC a new look to compete with Fox News Channel, MSNBC and CNN, rou tinely the most popular networks on cable television. “We aim to deliver a nightly program that, in some small way, looks for the signal in all the noise,” said Mark Hoffman, CNBC chairman. “We’re thrilled that Shep, who’s built a career on an honest fight to find and report the facts, will continue his pursuit of the truth at CNBC.” Associated Press ABOUT US AND OUR VALUES The public has a right to know, and The Times is dedicated to that principle and the “continued enlightenment and freedom of the people of North Georgia,” as engraved outside our building. The pursuit of truth is a fundamental principle of journalism. But the truth is not always apparent or known immediately. A professional journalist’s role is to report as completely and impartially as possible verifiable facts so readers can, based on their own knowledge and experience, determine what they believe to be the truth. That is often an ongoing pursuit as journalists work to uncover stories and follow those stories wherever they lead, regardless of preconceived ideas. The news they report is separate from the opinions shared in the pages of The Times, which include those by its editorial board, columnists, political cartoonists and readers who submit letters to the editor. The presentation of both news and opinions is designed to educate, entertain and foster community conversation. Readers are encouraged to challenge and sharpen their perceptions based on that presentation. And we encourage readers to do the same for us, offering news tips, criticisms and questions. As your honestly local news source, we serve our readers first.

I’m single, 40-ish and, I swear, daily I wake up saying, “I’m going to read for an hour tonight,” or “I’m going to make a healthy lunch for tomorrow,” or “I’m going to do those stretches tonight.” And I get home and end up having a glass of wine with the dog in front of the TV and that’s that. I’m in a rut carved out over years — so how do I change it? How do I follow through on my promise to read or cook or stretch? I’d like to eventually expand to engaging in broader social activities, but I need to start with just being more active in a positive way in my own home first. Doing these things before work is a non-starter. I am a night person through and through. — Resolved There’s resolve, and there’s what you actually want to do. The latter is so much more effective. If what you actually want to do is sit on the couch with wine, dog and TV, then you will find ways to do that and resolve doesn’t stand a chance. If your health (physical, mental, emo tional) indicates a departure from the couch, or if you just want more balance, then make the couch time your reward for... let’s say 10 minutes of X, with X being stretches or reading or food prep, pick one and focus on it. That’s it. Ten minutes, then couch. When it becomes habit, hike the time by five minutes. Try for a few weeks and write back. Re: Resolved: I had this same problem, which also often included falling asleep on the couch with the TV on for most or all of the night; I had a rough transi tion to living alone again after a breakup. I decided to change my environment to break the habit and moved my TV into the bedroom. It was initially going to be for a short time, but I liked it so much I’ve kept it there so far. I may not always do all the things I planned, but I do have more space to think about how I want to spend my time without having to engage in massive willpower to avoid just crashing on the couch with TV to numb out. And if I do want to watch TV it’s a more conscious decision, and if I fall asleep to it at least I’m already in bed! — Anonymous Anonymous: It’s a great point, and one worth expanding on: I think we tend to underestimate how much place affects life choices. Or at least the physical space of home or work or neighborhood. What we see is what we tend to do. How much we exercise, eat, read, socialize, etc., all can be significantly affected by a seem ingly low-significance change — like rear ranging furniture. Cool stuff. Thanks.

For our digital subscription offerings, go to gainesvilletimes.com/subscribe ARIES (March 21-April 19). Your heart will be light and playful. New things will inter est you; old things call on you differently. It’s your adapt ability that makes this all possible. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) Maybe life is not a com petitive match, and yet games tend to sharpen people. A worthy adversary brings out the best in you. If you don’t have one, then this is your day to seek one. GEMINI (May 21-June 21). To listen to what a person is say ing and really try to take the world on from that person’s perspective is the single act you can perform today to make the world a better place. CANCER (June 22-July 22). People love you just how you are, but that is not the reason you don’t have to try too hard today. You’ll be doing what matters to you in the style that feels comfortable to you and good things will just naturally happen. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). You prefer to know what people want, though it’s very interest ing not to know. It causes you to make guesses and it’s fun to get them right and even more fun to get them wrong. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). Nostalgia is its own kind of pleasure. Like most pleasure, it’s best taken in moderation. You’ll relish the sweetness of looking but you have no de sire to dwell there. LIBRA (Sept. 23-0ct. 23). Working under pressure isn’t entirely pleasant, but today it’s how you’ll get the right things done in the timeline that works for the world at the price that works for you. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). When people go out of their way for you, as they will to day, just take it. Accept the gesture with a smile. You would do the same for others, and you have. Your motives were pure, and theirs are, too. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). You’ll go out of your way to keep even the simplest agreement. This is why you avoid making promises. Sa cred pacts are too heavy a deal and overkill for today’s situation. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Your brain is in top condi tion. Yet, you keep training it anyway. It’s like you know there are things you need to be ready for in the future, and you’ll stay sharp in anticipa tion. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). You are trying not to psycho logically lean on anyone and yet there are things — intan gible things, mostly — that you legitimately need. You will not know what they are until you catch yourself. PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). You don’t have to know what’s going on inside of you to know that it matters, not only to you but also to the people around you. If you can relax into the mood of the day instead of trying to create and control it, you’ve already won.
