Look at the bright side: it's reassuring that someone at the NYT has heard of integrity.

Sharp observation on the intergrity qualifier. That detail kinda says everything about where institutional journalism is right now. The bit aobut Joe Berger still contributing Yiddish pieces is interesting tho, like having one person on standby for niche cultural coverage shows how thin their bench really got over the years.

They will never hire a jew who represents the majority Jewish experience and opinion; they will hire a token antizionist jew in order to maintain their ongoing narrative

Judaism reporter wanted. Must be anti-Zionist.

I read you so I don't have to read them. Why look at someone who hates me to be blunt.

Excellent piece. There was a time back in the 50s, 60s, even 70s that many Times reporters and editors -- at the top-- were jewisj. what's happened? And my view, Basquet was an antisemite.

The Times is drowning. This is a desperate gasp to placate those Jewish people they turned on last year. Other than the spotty recipes section there's no juice.

Their paid on-line subscription volume has gone up. They are not drowning.

Likely increased as a result of the increasing presence of Jihadists which the NYT appears to respect, and admire.

What is the cost? $1 a week? $2? It’s easy to juice subscriptions when the cost to readers is minimal.

Come on! You can't make this up. The Sulzbergers have been one of New York and America's most prominent Jewish families for more than two centuries. How did the NYT get to a place where they need a journalist with "expert understanding of Judaism". It's called the NEW YORK Times. Simply absurd.

The NYT is far from the respected journal it was decades ago. It has taken a180 degree turn from true unbiased reporting to supporting the destructive elements currently in our nation, Mamdani, Sanders, all leftists as well as an ideology in total conflict with our Judeo/Christian nation. The price we are paying is obvious, and will totally destroy our country unless stopped.

It most certainly has never been respected by true Jews ever! Just look at their non-coverage of the Holocaust. Nothing more needs to be said! I pray this rag goes flamiingly down once and for all time!

True. That's why it's so ironic they have this position open.

They may need to hire a war correspondent
