Nikole Hannah-Jones, a staff writer for The New York Times, once used a slur for a black person in a tweet, an apparent violation of the newspaper’s standards that condemn use of the word “regardless of intent.”
Hannah-Jones’ tweet was resurfaced on Monday in a report by The Washington Free Beacon on an internal meltdown by Times staffers over the ousting of Times science writer Donald McNeil Jr. Hannah-Jones at first doxed the Free Beacon reporter who reached out to her for comment, then later apparently erased almost all of her Twitter history. The Free Beacon captured a screenshot of her tweet before Hannah-Jones removed it from her profile.
