Do people not know how reporting works at a place like the NYT? The NYT does not act as a single institution with a single mind. There might be some institutional bias based off hiring practices, but individual reporters aren't going to be doing the company's dirty work like you are suggesting. The risk to their personal reputation is not worth protecting a company that might lay them off in 6 months.
- bingohbangoh 5y agoSure they can, if they perceive Facebook as a threat they'll report negative things about them. Do people not value job security? "Never ask a man to do something against which his salary depends on" and all that.
- slg 5y agoJob security is less important than career security. They are not going to put their career in jeopardy to protect their job especially in the current media landscape in which journalist are constantly changing jobs.
- raxxorrax 5y agoNo, I don't think that sailing against the wind of contemporary newsrooms offers a promising career outlook. On the contrary.
- bingohbangoh 5y agoHow would they be found out? You harbor a personal resentment you believe to be true deep down and… people can read your mind and hold it against you for future jobs?
