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)
- 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)
- @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)
- @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)
