A couple of weeks after ending its video paywall, The New York Times has teamed with nonprofit news organization Retro Report to launch a series of 10 to 15-minute web-only documentaries examining events of the past and their current implications. The docs will premiere each Monday on both the Times’ baby boomer blog, “Booming,” and on Retro Report’s site. The first offering, “The Voyage of the Mobro 4000,” looks at a reviled 1987 garbage barge that turns out to have just been a bit ahead of its time.
