A whistleblower identified as Guta spoke out in an exclusive interview with The Free Press about alleged anti-Israel bias at The New York Times. Guta worked on the video desk for nearly a decade and claims that despite recognizing antisemitic content in published materials and promising to update unconscious bias training, no such changes were implemented during her tenure. She cites specific instances like a cartoon depicting Israel’s prime minister alongside antisemitic tropes as examples of ongoing issues at the paper.

Story summary
On September 23, The Free Press reported an exclusive story about a lawsuit filed against The New York Times by shareholders alleging that the newspaper failed to report truthfully and correct its errors promptly. This suit is based on testimony from a whistleblower who worked at the New York Times' video desk for nearly ten years and left in 2019. The whistleblower, identified only by her middle name Guta, claims she has evidence from internal documents such as Slack conversations and meeting minutes to support her allegations of bias against Israel. Guta stated that her excitement upon starting at the New York Times in 2016 had faded by 2019 due to issues with reporting, citing an example where the paper published a controversial cartoon depicting Israel’s prime minister as a guide dog led by the U.S. president wearing a kippah. The newspaper later acknowledged this incident but did not address broader concerns of bias raised in the lawsuit.
