Two NYT Journalists Exit Paper Following Revelations of Improper Conduct

HeadlineFeb 10, 2021

Two prominent journalists at The New York Times have left the newspaper after recent revelations of improper behavior. Veteran reporter Donald McNeil Jr. was recently called out for using the N-word and making racist and sexist comments on a work-related trip with high school students.

Meanwhile, Andy Mills, co-creator and co-host of the podcast “Caliphate,” resigned after allegations surfaced of inappropriate behavior toward female colleagues when he previously worked at WNYC. “Caliphate,” a hit podcast about life inside the Islamic State, came under fire recently after the Times admitted it contained major inaccuracies, causing the Pulitzer Prize Board to rescind its status as a 2019 prize finalist.
