The New York Times is facing accusations of racially targeting employees amid an investigation into leaks from the newsroom regarding coverage of Hamas attacks on Israel. The NewsGuild president wrote a letter to the publisher claiming that meetings turned into harassment and intimidation of union members. Members of the Middle Eastern and North African Times Employee Resource Group were questioned about their views on Gaza coverage and told to provide personal communications. The president called for an end to the racially targeted witch hunt. The Times denied the allegations, calling them preposterous. The investigation stemmed from an exposé about halted production of a Daily episode on a report of mass sexual assault from the newspaper. Subscribe to The Daily Beast for more updates on this story.
