How the New York Times handles Israeli censorship

August 06, 2014 00:15

Some critics on social media and elsewhere have noted that The New York Times, as a global news organization, has ways to circumvent the censor, and they are correct.

Since Jodi Rudoren, the New York Times bureau chief in Jerusalem, arrived in the city more than two years ago, she has taken a "Don't Ask/Hope They Don't Tell" approach to Israel's military censor.

Like every other journalist who works here, she had to sign a form agreeing to comply with the censorship system in order to get a government press card, which she need to enter various buildings, events and the Gaza Strip. But no one ever told her what to submit to the censor, or how (which was more than fine with her).

Until Friday.
