However, a journalist will never reveal a source albeit this is on a monumental scale which means the opinion team and the news team are on opposing sides within the newsroom. The decision was in the purview of James Bennet, editorial page editor, and James Dao, op-ed editor, with publisher AG Sulzberger weighing in, a Times spokeswoman said. The newspapers executive editor, Dean Baquet, was not involved because the news pages are his responsibility, and the column appeared in the Times opinion section. That led to a Times reporter, Jodi Kantor, tweeting that Times reporters must now try to unearth the identity of an author that our colleagues in Opinion have sworn to protect with anonymity? Mr Dao told a Times reporter that the piece was submitted last week through an intermediary, and anonymity was not granted until editors were confident in the writers identity. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers, the newspaper said. Last night a defiant Trump, appearing at an unrelated event at the White House, lashed out at the Times for publishing the op-ed. https://metro.co.uk/2018/09/06/who-wrote-the-new-york-times-op-ed-on-donald-trump-here-are-the-candidates-7918322/ James Dao knows!
