Florida’s state-run public pension fund and the National Center for Public Policy Research sued The New York Times in New York on Wednesday, seeking company records to assess whether its board is enforcing editorial standards. The petition cites alleged factual errors and claims from an unnamed former newsroom employee who raised concerns about anti-Israel bias as early as 2019. The shareholders said they are not challenging the newspaper’s editorial judgment, but want assurances that its stated standards are being followed and that its records are subject to shareholder inspection rights under New York law. The Times called the case meritless and an attempt to pressure an independent media organization. The Florida State Board of Administration oversees a pension system serving more than 1.2 million retirees and managed about $235.7 billion as of August 31.
