Proud to have been part of the team that computationally analyzed the New York Times' biased coverage of Israel and Palestine. This is part of a broader effort by Writers Against the War On Gaza, who released today a tour-de-force exposé of NYT: newyorkwarcrimes.com
Has the Israeli death toll really been that flat? I know it's completely lopsided but had assumed there was some back and forth.
Thanks for your important work!
Thank you for this. I think one of the most important tasks in front of the left is tearing down the NYT being the national "Paper of Record", but nothing is there to fill the gap except more orgs controlled by capital.
Hopefully, nyt will evaluate and change. I believe we need legacy news sources.
Nice work. It reminds me of a Spy Magazine story in the late '80s that purported to have found the NYT's formula for how much space a given story would get, using a list of variables (one was left vague so they could make the math work). One variable was "proximity to NYT offices or Tel Aviv."
Is the data or code for this available anywhere?
Impressive work. (As an aside you wish a similar analysis was done by others of NYT coverage of Trump and Biden, etc).
