Florida uses pension stake to probe NYT's editorial process

Florida AG James Uthmeier is demanding internal records from The New York Times to evaluate how the paper reviews stories and informs board decisions, arguing that editorial lapses could harm investors in the Florida Retirement System which holds NYT shares; The Times says the move is an attempt to chill First Amendment journalism, while the inquiry cites examples including Nicholas Kristof’s columns as part of its focus on editorial governance and shareholder risk.
