“#NY Times defends ‘1619 Project’ creator after she doxxed reporter<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The New York Times is defending the creator of its controversial 1619 Project after she doxxed another reporter \u2014 and then wiped her entire Twitter<\/a> history, including messages she had first been challenged over.<\/p>\n

Nikole Hannah-Jones, 44, tweeted out Washington Free Beacon reporter Aaron Sibarium\u2019s cell number after he asked her about old tweets where she spelled out the N-word amid uproar over the ouster of a veteran Times colleague getting fired for once using the word.<\/p>\n

Sibarium said the Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist kept his number online for 71 hours<\/a> before deleting it \u2014 with a jokey exchange with another reporter suggesting she was aware it was up.<\/p>\n

He said it was \u201cmore annoying than alarming,\u201d with \u201csome nasty voice messages<\/a> but nothing serious.\u201d<\/p>\n

A spokeswoman for the Gray Lady defended Hannah-Jones, claiming to the Free Beacon that she had \u201cinadvertently posted<\/a> Aaron\u2019s number when she tweeted an email she received from him.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s deleted that tweet,\u201d Eileen Murphy emailed at 9:28 p.m. Monday \u2014 just four minutes after Free Beacon last saw its reporter\u2019s number still online.<\/p>\n

By the next night, Hannah-Jones had not just deleted the offending tweet but her whole Twitter history \u2014 including the 2016 N-word message she had first been asked to elaborate on.<\/p>\n

She claimed it was purely coincidental and had nothing to do with the controversy.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome of you may be aware, as I said this on here more than once, I auto delete my tweets at regular intervals now,\u201d she tweeted Tuesday night<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an informal writing platform \u2014 it\u2019s called social media. My permanent work gets published in articles. I don\u2019t need to delete entire history over one tweet,\u201d she insisted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know people want to take credit for things that have nothing to do with them, but if I had already deleted a particular tweet, why would you think I\u2019d need to delete all my unrelated tweets?\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m ever amused by this place,\u201d she said of the Free Beacon\u2019s report on her vanishing feed.<\/p>\n

Free Beacon Editor in Chief Eliana Johnson told National Review<\/a> that \u201cthe behavior and the Times\u2019s disingenuous response speak for themselves.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

The 1619 Project is an ongoing initiative from The New York Times Magazine that began in August 2019, the 400th anniversary of the beginning of American slavery.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Times says it \u201caims to reframe the country\u2019s history<\/a> by placing the consequences of slavery and the contributions of black Americans at the very center of our national narrative.\u201d\n <\/div>\n
