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.”

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.

How to escape the nightly
couch-and-TV routine
Dear Carolyn:
Can you give me some direction on how
to better keep my resolve? 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.

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.
