Sarah Jeong is no longer part of The New York Times' editorial board, an editor with the newspaper told CNN on Friday, with the writer maintaining that a tweet she sent this week was not a call for people to "unsubscribe" from the paper.
“Sarah decided to leave the editorial board in August,” deputy editorial board member Kate Kingsbury told CNN on Friday. “But we’re glad to still have her journalism and insights around technology in our pages through her work as a contributor.”
Jeong is now serving as a “contracted contributor for NYT Opinion," CNN reported. The Times did not announce Jeong's departure from its editorial board at the time in August.
The news regarding Jeong's status came hours after she raised eyebrows on Twitter over her response to a columnist for The Guardian who urged against people canceling their subscription to the Times.

The NYT will never admit their mistake in hiring this woman.
I can’t “unsubscribe” for a reason...
Too crazy, even for the NYT!
She’ll be a suicide before she gets old.

New York Times unsubscribed her.
Thanks for that link.
Sure... kick the Asian off the editorial board and give her the technology column.
RACIST!
Bullcrap. It is not self-indulgent at all. It is simply a consumer choice in a free market. I used to love a certain brand of tomato sauce, then they changed the ingredients and the flavor and I don't like it anymore so I don't buy it. That's not self-indulgence. It's not a boycott either it's just a decision not to spend my money on products I don't like.
Maybe if these papers had some introspection and self reflection and standards and ethics more people would subscribe in the future.
Thanks for the link, I knew the name and that for some reason there was good reason to dislike her. Now I remember why I hate her.
She hates White People. But isn’t she Yellow?
Good news. I have had enough of the white privilege crap, and the ‘I hate whitey” statements.
