New York Times sued for ‘discriminating against white male editor’

The New York Times (NYT) has been sued for alleged discrimination against a white male employee after he was passed over for an editor’s job that went to a multiracial woman.

The US Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) accused the newspaper of breaching civil rights law by discriminating against the unnamed male candidate based on his race or sex, according to the complaint filed in Manhattan federal court.

The unnamed complainant, who has worked at the newspaper since 2014 and says he has “considerable experience with real estate news”, was interviewed for the deputy property editor role, but not advanced to the final round.
