Over 150 New York Times contributors to boycott paper over Gaza coverage

Over 150 contributors to The New York Times have signed a pledge to boycott the paper's opinion section, citing its biased coverage of the Israel-Palestine conflict and the war on Gaza. The signatories, which include prominent activists, artists, and politicians, argue that withholding their labor is an effective challenge to the paper's practices. They issued three demands, including a review of anti-Palestinian bias, new editorial standards, and the retraction of a December 2023 article about sexual assault during the 7 October attack. The group also demands that the newspaper call for a US arms embargo on Israel.
