NYT issues social media warning: 'Our journalists must not express partisan opinions'
By Joe Concha - 10/13/17 02:58 PM EDT

The New York Times presented new social media guidelines for its reporters in a memo Friday that includes a warning to "not express partisan opinions" or "promote political views," among other rules.

"In social media posts, our journalists must not express partisan opinions, promote political views, endorse candidates, make offensive comments or do anything else that undercuts The Times’s journalistic reputation,” reads the memo from executive editor Dean Baquet.

“Our journalists should be especially mindful of appearing to take sides on issues that The Times is seeking to cover objectively," he wrote. :silly:

In other words, they must confine their political views to their "news" stories??
