New York Times CANCELS OP-EDS

[Franklin Pierce]

Now the New York Times cancels op-eds: Paper says it's Renaming them to 'guest essays' to be 'more inclusive' after ex-editors Bari Weiss and James Bennet were driven out by colleagues for not being woke enough

The New York Times has said that it will retire the term 'op-ed' and replace it with 'guest essay', a rebrand that follows a string of furious controversies in the newspaper's Opinion section.

Opinion Editor Kathleen Kingsbury announced the change in a column on Monday, calling the term op-ed 'clubby newspaper jargon' and adding 'we are striving to be far more inclusive in explaining how and why we do our work.'

My thoughts exactly.

CANCELS = renames

renames = newspeak

Sounds as though the NYT is only going to feature op-eds that are vetted for “wokeness”.

That’s cancelling.
