"we have been accused of publishing damaging information about Mr. Platner with the purpose of hurting his campaign. And we have been accused of withholding information with the purpose of helping him. Neither is true. Our job is not to take sides but to fairly report the facts."

Last month the @nytimes broke open serious, credible allegations about Graham Platner’s treatment of women. Some people criticized the story or wanted it written differently. I spoke with its editor about our reporting and how we handle on-the-record & off-the-record information.

These are text messages, exactly as they were written and sent, between a mother and her two daughters during yesterday’s shooting at Apalachee High School. The family shared the texts with The Washington Post. Both daughters were unharmed and now safe.
