a backlash they would receive from readers on social media.<\/p>\n<p>The 57-year-old Kahn told The Washington Post that some reporters at the Times \u201cdon\u2019t even want to engage in certain kinds of stories because they anticipate the reaction that they\u2019ll get from writing on, reporting on, a story that tends to be a lightning-rod type issue on Twitter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kahn said that he supported his predecessor\u2019s policy encouraging staffers to spend less time on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>In April, Baquet circulated a memo to Times reporters and editors, telling them that maintaining a Twitter account is \u201cpurely optional\u201d after staffers reportedly raised concerns over being targeted by internet trolls.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img
