The NYT has a great track record of protecting their sources.
- TeMPOraL 5y agoExcept when they don't. Did you miss the Scott Alexander / SlateStarCodex saga recently? It revealed that NYT's policies around revealing people's identity are pretty hit-and-miss.
- aerosmile 5y agoNot aware of this. But as a former NYT employee, I can tell you they try harder than anyone else out there.
- quickthrowman 5y agoScott Alexander was the subject of a story, not an anonymous journalistic source which is what the poster you replied to was referring to when they said the NYT protects their sources. I am not disputing that the NYT revealed his full name, they absolutely did so that, against his wishes.
