Political Bias
editThe article no where mentions that the newspaper has not endorsed a Republican for president in 70 years. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_presidential_election_endorsements_made_by_The_New_York_Times 64.31.13.163 (talk) 08:24, 6 June 2024 (UTC)
- The article mentions the number of Democratic and Republican presidents endorsed by the Times: "The New York Times has endorsed a total of twelve Republican candidates and thirty Democratic candidates." I believe this is sufficient and see no need to specifically highlight that they haven't endorsed a Republican president in 70 years. Frankserafini87 (talk) 04:24, 29 June 2024 (UTC)
Removal of Times reporting on human zoos
editHi @Elijahpepe, I was wondering if you could explain why you felt that my edits adding the NYT's reporting on human zoos was unworthy of inclusion in this article? The NYT has revisited the controversy at least twice, and numerous other sources have reported on it. Unbandito (talk) 03:00, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Unless a controversy significantly affected the Times, such as the backlash surrounding Jayson Blair's plagiarism that resulted in executive editor Howell Raines' resignation, it should not be included. Your sentence is better suited for List of The New York Times controversies. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 03:27, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- I do not believe this belogns on the List article either unless there's reliable secondary coverage with respect to NYT's reporting. The references for the paragraph were either primary (NYT's original report, and a more recent retrospective) or were not reliable (a blog post discussing the NYT coverage). You ideally need multiple sources that are both reliable and secondary to qualify this as a "New York Times controversy" instead of being primarily in "Legacy" (or a more appropriate) section on Ota Benga. Soni (talk) 04:52, 20 June 2024 (UTC)
- Okay, I see your point. I am going to re-introduce the material with some better secondary sourcing in the Critism section, rename that section to Controversies, and work on making it into a better summary of the List of The New York Times controversies article. This should address some of the concerns around recentism in that section as well. Unbandito (talk) 15:50, 22 June 2024 (UTC)
add this "NYT calls violence against Hindus in Bangladesh ‘revenge attacks"
edit | This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
The New York Times was under fire for headlining its story on violence against Hindus in Bangladesh after ex-PM Sheikh Hasina fled the country as ‘revenge attacks’. The American newspaper course-corrected after backlash on social media. After backlash NYT removed ‘revenge attacks’ and changed title from "Hindus in Bangladesh Face Revenge Attacks After Prime Minister’s Exit" to "Hindus in Bangladesh Face Attacks After Prime Minister’s Exit".

Add this information to the section about Transgender people:
Adding to New York Times' controversy over its coverage of transgender people, the news source regularly features journalist Pamela Paul whose anti-transgender opinion articles featured in the New York Times were made into a legal brief in favor of Idaho House Bill 71. Cite error: A <ref> tag is missing the closing </ref> (see the help page).</ref>This bill passed making it a felony for clinicians to provide gender-affirming care to minors in the state of Idaho.

NYT as liberal
editIt's universally acknowledged that the NYT is a liberal newspaper. Why not to add that in the first sentence? Thanks 2001:B07:ADD:C4B2:8024:E80B:F27:43 (talk) 22:19, 18 November 2024 (UTC)
Broadsheet
editIs it really a broadsheet? Seems more compact these days or maybe a U.S. broadsheet is now that compact size. 108.6.96.180 (talk) 10:44, 12 December 2024 (UTC)
