The word afterwards changes to “The law is choice contribution are lies.” The ad repeats opposite versions of a “The law is…” as a voices speed adult and get louder. It ends with: “The law is hard” and “The law is some-more critical now than ever.”
The ad’s goal is to daub into “national discourse going on right now about contribution and a truth” and what that means in today’s world, according to New York Times branding exec David Rubin.
“The thought is to be a partial of that contention about what does it meant to find a truth,” he said. “What does that meant in a universe of ‘fake news’? And what is a purpose of broadcasting and reporters in that routine and what is a purpose of reader in ancillary that journalism?”

Rubin combined that The Times chose a Annual Academy Awards for a impact and a timing.
“We wanted a high form media moment,” he said. “This felt like a good impulse for people to respond and conflict to a spot.”
