Let me tell you a little bit about @RubensteinAdam, who as of this week is out at @nytimes. Adam is among the most meticulous, hard-working editors I've ever encountered. He is a total professional, which is all the more amazing because he's 25. (thread) https://www.thedailybeast.com/ny-times-assistant-adam-rubenstein-who-edited-tom-cottons-send-in-the-troops-column-resigns

Adam doesn't seek the spotlight, which is why you likely hadn't heard his name until June as the editor who published the Tom Cotton oped. Adam was one of half a dozen editors who worked on that piece. He was the most junior among them. Yet Adam was named by @nytimes.

This piece says that Adam was "thrust into the media spotlight." No. Adam was hung out to dry by his own colleagues. Then he and his work were lied about, including in this mendacious editor's note. https://www.nytimes.com/2020/06/03/opinion/tom-cotton-protests-military.html

There is a bigger story to be told here, but the bottom line is that what @nytimes did to Adam was a disgrace. So is the fact that there wasn't a massive and public union campaign to defend him.
