Isaiah Wartman
Media Relations
Marjorie Taylor Greene for Congress 2020

Dear Mr. Wartman,

This is me http://tinyurl.com/ych7o7dr I'd appreciate a comment of any length from Ms. Greene re: a journalism
back story I'm reporting.

For context, one of my research/reporting/activist interests is public access to information. For example, two
years ago, I was the plaintiff in a successful lawsuit which required New Jersey state agencies to make public
records available to non-residents of the Garden State: https://tinyurl.com/ycdytwco

Per these two reports last year in the Press Gazette (the UK's most prominent media watchdog publication)
https://tinyurl.com/y6h6xwk8 & https://tinyurl.com/y9chjkro my efforts revealed that member publications of
the UK's Independent Press Standards Organization (IPSO), "the independent regulator of most of the UK’s
newspapers and magazines,"  are permitted to send published stories "down the memory hole" without
publishing an explanatory note to readers.

Along those lines, here's why I'm writing you.

As you're undoubtedly aware, on August 11 the New York Times published Marjorie Taylor Greene, a QAnon
Supporter, Wins House Primary in Georgia by veteran reporters Matthew Rosenberg, Astead W. Herndon and
Nick Corasaniti. Here's a screen shot from the current version of their report: https://tinyurl.com/yxjrgb7x

What you may or may not be aware of is that the original version of the story -- available via the Wayback
Machine https://t.co/nTmhYYyD8X?amp=1 -- included this newsworthy paragraph that was subsequently
scrubbed without any notification to readers:
In an attempt to determine why the paragraph was scrubbed without an explanatory note to readers -- and if
doing so violates the paper's editorial guidelines -- I've sent inquiries to the three reporters via email & Twitter
https://tinyurl.com/y4ana3r3 I haven't received any replies, so yesterday I wrote to New York Times Politics
Editor Patrick Healy (who's copied on this) and I look forward to his reply. (I'm also copying The Times' media
columnist, Ben Smith.)

On August 11, I also wrote to Ms. Handel asking if the quote was accurate and if she or her campaign had
anything to do with "disappearing" her quote: https://tinyurl.com/y4dbd28t I haven't received a reply.

May I get a comment/statement of any length from Ms. Greene? I'll publish it unedited and without comment.

Thanks for your time/attention and I look forward to your reply. If you can get back to me by end of the day
tomorrow (Monday) that would be great. However, I'm not on deadline and I always prefer accuracy over speed.
Questions for me? Just ask.

Finally, I'm copying some journalists in your neck of the woods in the event that this might interest their readers.

Cheers, Peter
