New York Times It appears to be falling into damages management after the narrative of New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani, who identified several readers in a university application, confused some of his readers, leading to an outlet’s editor trying to clear up social media controversy on Friday.
article When asked about the race in a 2009 university application to Columbia University, Mamdani claimed that she checked boxes of “black or African Americans” as well as “Asians” in an article published Thursday.
Patrick Healy, assistant managing editor at the Times for Standards and Trust, x long statement The next day, I received “Reader Feedback” in the article.
“Our reporters got information about Mamdani’s Columbia College Application and used it to go to the Mamdani campaign. When they hear anything of news value, they try to confirm it through a direct source. Mamdani confirmed this information in an interview with the Times,” he wrote.

Healy explained that New York City Mayoral candidates felt they were limited by the options listed in the racial identity box of the application. Since his birth in Uganda, he has decided to write to the country about his application.
A cyber attack at Columbia University in late June exposed school sensitive information to hackers, making the mum tick application available in the ages.
Healy said that the outlet received the information after it was stolen in a cyber attack, but “The Times does not rely solely on publishing information from such sources or make decisions,” and that it examined the application with Mamdani herself before publishing the story.
Regarding feedback, he added, “I believe that Mamdani’s thoughts and decisions are laid out in his words and are in line with our mission to help readers better know and understand top candidates in key offices.”
Liberal critics such as Keith Orberman hit the Times with X.
