"Times coverage of transgender issues has been cited by anti-trans activists and others... to justify discrimination and harm. What steps are you taking to be accountable to concerns of the trans community, readers, and shareholders?"
"Sulzberger... asserted that the paper's role is to cover all aspects of that shift fully and fairly. Citing Times' coverage of groundbreakers in the community, the hopes and struggles for trans rights, and stories documenting discrimination and violence against trans people."
"The publisher claimed the paper's newsroom leaders have engaged extensively with critics of The Times' coverage and concluded it has indeed been fair and comprehensive."
A.G. Sulzberger, publisher of The New York Times, faced criticism at the annual shareholders' meeting regarding the paper's coverage of transgender issues. A mother of a transgender teen expressed concerns that the coverage has been used to justify discrimination. Sulzberger defended the paper's reporting as rigorous and respectful, asserting that it covers all aspects of the transgender rights debate fairly. Critics, however, argue that the coverage fails to adequately support the trans community and perpetuates harm.
