After the New York Times (NYT) published an editorial about bitcoin mining, claiming the industry is harmful to the environment, an organization called Stop the Presses took issue with the Times’ paper usage. Stop the Presses launched a social media campaign against the NYT’s newspaper production. The organization’s website, nytimesup.org, alleges that the company “kills approximately 59 million trees per year.”
Activists Blast New York Times Over Physical Newspaper Print Production
On April 10, 2023, the New York Times faced criticism for publishing a one-sided “hit piece” on bitcoin mining. Crypto proponents claimed that Times reporter Gabriel Dance did not use factual information. Since then, the focus has shifted to the environmental impact of the American news outlet, founded in 1851, due to its newspaper production.
A group called Stop the Presses launched a social media campaign and website exposing the news business’s current printing practices. The accusation is that the New York Times destroys a significant number of trees to produce its antiquated physical paper in a digital world.
“The New York Times kills approximately 59 million trees per year,” the website nytimesup.org details. “They kill these trees just to turn them into a newspaper that most people throw away, creating billions of pounds of CO2 each year. They print propaganda on the paper they create with dead trees, yet we live in a digital age. This wasteful practice must be stopped.”
