After receiving widespread criticism for its coverage of Meta’s XCheck programme, the Wire has decided to “suspend the stories” until it carries out a “thorough internal review of all material and documents and sources”, the portal’s founding editor Siddharth Varadarajan told Newslaundry.
In response to a set of questions from Newslaundry, Varadarajan texted: “We have been parleying, editors and reporters, and decided to suspend the stories till we do a thorough internal review of all materials and documents and sources.”
