The photographer Nan Goldin announced that she had called off a project for the New York Times Magazine because of the newspaper’s pro-Israel bias in its reporting on Gaza.

Goldin said: “Yesterday, I canceled a big job with the New York Times Sunday magazine — a cover shoot of a musician I admire — because the NYT reported on the war on Gaza, which shows complicity with Israel,” she wrote on Instagram. “For what they report and don’t report, and how they question the veracity of anything Palestinians say.”

She tagged Writers Against the War on Gaza (WAWOG), a group of journalists, critics, and more that have “committed to solidarity and the horizon of liberation for the Palestinian people,” according to a description on its website, which accuses the New York Times’s editorial board and others of having created a “perversion of meaning” since the October 7 Hamas attack that killed 1,400 Israelis and involved the taking of around 200 hostages.

Following that attack, Israel has launched airstrikes on Gaza, killing more than 10,000 people there, according to the local health ministry. On her Instagram story, Goldin alluded to these killings, writing, “I respect the NYT journalists who are on the ground reporting the reality. I mourn the dozens of Palestinian journalists who have been targeted and killed in the last weeks. As long as the people of Gaza are screaming, we need to yell louder so they can hear us, no matter who attempts to silence us.”
