.@SolJourno has raised $4.2M from @GatesFoundation since 2014. In 2016 I pointed out how its co-founders had repeatedly hyped edu projects/companies funded by Gates in @nytimes "Fixes" column w/o any disclosures, contrary to NYT ethical guidelines.nycpublicschoolparents.blogspot.com/2016/08/ny-tim…
2/I wrote NYT 2 times why no disclosure of this conflict but got no response. Then in Aug. 2020 @timothywschwab wrote about Gates influence over media in general & @soljourno
lack of disclosure in their @nytimes columns when promoting Gates-funded projects cjr.org/criticism/gate…

3/ @tirosenberg & @dnbornstein admitted that was a mistake & said they would ask NYT editors to "fix" their "Fixes" columns to disclosure their Gates funding cjr.org/criticism/gate… 
4/ Yet @marcdcharney NYT editor refused to say if or when this would be fixed "citing technical difficulties and other newsroom priorities." !!! cjr.org/criticism/gate…
@marcdcharney 5/Just today I saw that a 2018 @NYTimes column by @dnbornstein on Gates-funded ed tech program @PowerMyLearning had an added disclosure, dated March 2021 - 5 yrs after I wrote my blog about these conflicts & 7 months after @TimothyWSchwab wrote about them

6/But no similar disclosure appears on @dnbornstein earlier column praising @PowermyLearning in 2012
opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/09/19/a-d… even though Gates gave the digital program $5M in 2011

@dnbornstein @PowerMyLearning 7/ @gatesfoundation also began to fund @soljournalism specifically via @nytimes "Fixes" column in 2011 canneschimera.com/challenges/201…
8/Nor is there any disclosure on @tirosenberg 2015 @nytimes column praising Gates-funded School of One, now called @newclassrooms that left out much of the negative studies that had already been released on this #edtech company opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2015/03/13/rea…
@tirosenberg @nytimes @NewClassrooms 9/No disclosures of conflict of interest for TWO 2013 columns by @tirosenberg hyping "Flipped classrooms" a favorite of @billgates who same year said it "may be the biggest untold story of education technology" opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/09/tur… opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/23/in-…
@tirosenberg @nytimes @NewClassrooms @BillGates 10/ One of those columns specifically praised @khanacademy which had already received $5.5M from the @gatesfoundation in 2010 & 2011 opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/09/tur…
@tirosenberg @nytimes @NewClassrooms @BillGates @khanacademy @gatesfoundation 11/No disclosures for either of 2 @tirosenberg columns praising controversial @BridgeIntlAcads for-profit private schools in Africa & India that are widely criticized incl by @UN Special Rapporteur on the Right to Education nytimes.com/2016/06/14/opi… opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/05/22/a-b…
@tirosenberg @nytimes @NewClassrooms @BillGates @khanacademy @gatesfoundation @BridgeIntlAcads @UN 12/ This for-profit school chain @bridgeintlacad has received @billgates private investments --which @tirosenberg @dnbornstein have argued means no disclosure necessary! cjr.org/criticism/gate…
13/ In any case, if you'd like more on @soljourno @nytimes 1-sided coverage of the impact of any of these controversial @billgates & @gatesfoundation investments you can check out my 2020 blog post here nycpublicschoolparents.blogspot.com/2020/08/the-co… ###
