The New York Times has appended a correction to an earlier report that highlighted the image of a malnourished Gazan boy, clarifying that the child suffered from severe pre-existing medical conditions. Critics say the initial article, which appeared prominently on the paper’s front page, implied the child’s condition was caused solely by Israel’s blockade and military campaign. Billionaire investor Bill Ackman and other commentators accused the newspaper of negligence and bias, arguing that the original photo and headline spread rapidly while the correction was less visible. Ackman called on Israel to pursue libel suits against the Times and other outlets, claiming the story caused “enormous harm.” Some readers noted that the Times did publish the editor’s note in its online edition, but detractors contend the placement is insufficient to offset the reach of the original reporting. The dispute adds to long-standing criticism over the paper’s handling of corrections in coverage of the Israel-Hamas war.
