It's officially the time to add this — perhaps the most controversial thing they've done, nowhere near the nonsensical discussions about LGBT which have been superfluously mentioned. 117.248.179.153 (talk) 14:15, 26 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Both studies on Israel-Palestine were removed with the rationale "Jerusalem Post is not a reliable source on I/P". These were rigorous academic studies and should remain in the article so I have restored them. Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 21:51, 24 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
The wording is: Yale professor Edieal Pinker examined 1,561 New York Times articles published between October 7, 2023 and June 7, 2024 that included "Israel” and “Gaza”, finding that “Israel” was mentioned three times more frequently than “Hamas". By omitting mention of deaths of Hamas fighters, Pinker argued, the NYT led readers to believe Israel was simply bombing Gaza, "diminishing Hamas’s responsibility for their situation and the continuation of the war".

A 2024 Bar Ilan study of 1,398 NYT articles found that 647 articles (46%) expressed empathy only towards Palestinians, while 147 articles (10.5%) expressed empathy only towards Israelis. Of 276 Top News headlines in 7 months, 55% expressed empathy only toward Palestinians, and 5.8% expressed empathy towards Israelis; 130 of these headlines criticized Israel, while only 6 headlines criticized Hamas.[6][7][8][9]Allthemilescombined1 (talk) 00:09, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Regardless of sourcing issues, the claim that the NYT is biased against Israel is WP:FRINGE and WP:UNDUE.
For these specific claims:
Despite being covered, by jpost and TOI, the Pinker study has not been published in an academic journal. His main argument is that because the deaths of Israeli soldiers after October 7th are mentioned less frequently than the deaths of Palestinian civilians (even though the latter is orders of magnitude larger than the former), this implies the NYT's reporting is skewed. This "scholarship" is clearly not worth taking remotely seriously.
A Gilboa & Sigan study was published in "Israel Affairs" but as far as I can see doesn't cover the articles expressing empathy statistics that your including here. This is most likely because "articles expressing empathy" is completely subjective and unscientific. The published work contains no data analysis at all and is mostly just regurgitating pro-Israel talking points while describing a few editorial errors made by the NYT. Also note that the jpost article was written by Sigan so falls into WP:SPS.
With numerous citations in this article coming from The Wrap, Buzzfeed News, The Guardian, Slate, Rolling Stone, The Mary Sue, Vanity Fair, Hollywood Reporter, and other non-academic sources, setting the standard for inclusion at the level of an academic journal only for a pro-Israel stance is applying a clear double standard and therefore violates WP:NPOV.

Quality of sourcing needs to be weighed against the argument being made. Giving these two "studies" more weight than we've given to the multiple studies published in reputable journals is the NPOV issue. EvansHallBear (talk) 14:50, 25 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
