!["lydiakiesling [via IG]: I have written for the NYT in various sections since 2014 and it was one of the most exciting moments of my professional life when I first had a byline with the magazine. Since then the paper has supplied the majority of my freelance income, because they are one of the few places that has money to spend and a single long magazine piece there can pay $10,000--almost unheard of anywhere else. In our denuded national media landscape something like 8 percent of American journalists are employed there. I say all this only to convey that, although I know it's craven, I wrestled with severing the connection to a financial lifeline that is known as "the paper of record" and also employs people I care about and respect across its many sections. But I can't pretend not to see the way the paper has played the role of stenographer for the IDF, or used language to emphasize the humanity of Israeli civilians while turning murdered Palestinians into faceless groups, or allowed Bret Stephens to treat genocide like a matter of personal sentiment. Freelancers are important for maintaining this storied institution. I'm not so naive to imagine even 300 people will make a difference, but we won't know if we don't try. If you're a writer, learn more and sign on at the link in my stories. I sign in remembrance of the many murdered Palestinian journalists and novelists and poets who will never again have the choice."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:gsejldqrfqdgjfyce5fc46gv/bafkreihwojydlx5myor6eqdg4stkuz4pjivzeinvr7zqufprhxhvmem4qm)
