The whistleblower behind a shareholder lawsuit accusing the New York Times of anti-Israel bias is speaking out in an exclusive interview with the Free Press, offering a firsthand account of the newsroom disputes behind the legal battle.
Identified by her middle name, Guta, the former Times video desk employee, 48, said that what she once considered a dream job became one in which she was increasingly isolated from colleagues as she challenged what she saw as the newspaper’s biased coverage of Israel and its inconsistent enforcement of newsroom standards.
“I was just so excited,” Guta told the Free Press, recalling her first day at the newspaper in 2016. “It was my dream job.”
Guta said she initially believed the problems she flagged were mistakes that could be corrected if she raised them with the right people.
“But that’s not at all what happened,” she told the Free Press. “Eventually, I concluded that it must be intentional. It couldn’t just be coincidence or a few bad apples or just incompetence.”
She said she raised concerns with colleagues and supervisors at least 15 times between 2019 and March 2026, when she left the Times, having stopped hoping that she could change the institution from within.
The Times has rejected the lawsuit’s claims, calling them meritless and accusing Guta of misrepresenting how its journalism and internal complaint procedures work.
