The union representing New York Times employees accused the company of targeting employees with Middle Eastern or North African backgrounds in a weeks-long investigation into leaks from its newsroom regarding the paper’s coverage of Oct. 7. https://t.co/e1guxzyyke
A leaked debate at the New York Times has raised questions about journalistic ethics and truth in reporting the conflict. #nyt #israelgaza https://t.co/Z4acO7ns6p
