NYT Resignation Letter — BARI WEISS

Bari Weiss, an Opinion writer and editor at The New York Times, announced her resignation in a letter addressed to publisher A.G. Sulzberger, citing a hostile internal environment and self-censorship at the paper. She says she was hired about three years earlier to bring in voices like Wuilly Arteaga, Ayaan Hirsi Ali and Glenn Loury that the paper otherwise would not publish. She describes colleagues calling her a Nazi and a racist, posting ax emojis next to her name on Slack, and smearing her on Twitter, with no appropriate action taken. She also argues that editors now steer writers away from non-progressive op-eds, and that the paper's standards are applied selectively.
