A group of high-profile New York Times journalists fired back against the NewsGuild of New York over a letter affirming journalists’ right to criticize the paper in order to address workplace conditions.
“Your letter appears to suggest a fundamental misunderstanding of our responsibilities as journalists. Regretfully, our own union leadership now seems determined to undermine the ethical and professional protections that we depend on to guard the independence and integrity of our journalism,” the letter says.
“Every day, partisan actors seek to influence, attack, or discredit our work. We accept that,” the letter continues. “But what we don’t accept is what the Guild appears to be endorsing: A workplace in which any opinion or disagreement aboutcoverage can be recast as a matter of ‘workplace conditions.’… We are journalists, not activists. That line should be clear.”
