NYT running smear campaign against India: Union minister Anurag Thakur

Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Anurag Thakur slammed The New York Times (NYT) chairman A G Sulzberger on Thursday for his claims that journalists are treated as terrorists in India. Speaking at a UNESCO event on World Press Freedom Day on Wednesday, Sulzberger said in India, authorities have raided newsrooms and treated journalists essentially as terrorists. Thakur asserted that the law took its own course in India in case of any wrongdoing and no one can claim immunity citing the status of being a media organisation. "In India law takes its own course if someone does something wrong, newsroom or no newsroom. Mere claiming the status of a newsroom does not grant immunity from unlawful deeds," he wrote on Twitter. Thakur wondered how any investigation amounts to an attack on the press. "Is it prudent to be a loose mouth and say journalists in India are treated as terrorists?" the minister asked. He accused the NYT of running a "smear campaign" against India and using

New York Times braces for first 24-hour newsroom strike in 40 years

The New York Times is bracing for a 24-hour walkout Thursday by hundreds of journalists and other employees, in what would be the first strike of its kind at the newspaper in more than 40 years. Newsroom employees and other members of The NewsGuild of New York say they are fed up with bargaining that has dragged on since their last contract expired in March 2021. The union announced last week that more than 1,100 employees would stage a 24-hour work stoppage starting at 12:01 a.m. Thursday unless the two sides reach a contract deal. Negotiations lasted for more than 12 hours into late Tuesday and continued Wednesday, but the sides remained far apart on issues including wage increases and remote-work policies. It's looking very likely that we are walking on Thursday," said Stacy Cowley, a finance reporter and union representative. There is still a pretty wide gulf between us on both economic and a number of issues. It was unclear how the day's coverage would be affected, but the ...
