The New York Times is facing allegations of racially targeting employees amid an investigation into leaks about its coverage of Hamas attacks on Israel. The president of the NewsGuild, which represents employees, sent a letter to the Times’ publisher claiming that meetings had turned into harassment and intimidation of union members. Members of the Middle Eastern and North African Times Employee Resource Group were reportedly questioned extensively about their views on Gaza coverage and ordered to turn over personal communications. The president called for an end to the racially targeted witch hunt, while the Times’ spokesperson called the allegations preposterous. The investigation stemmed from an exposé by The Intercept about a halted episode of The Daily. Subscribe to The Daily Beast for more exclusive reporting and updates.
