Letter addressed to Phil Corbett, Associate Managing Editor for Standards, The New York Times.

I have read your response to the Media Council of Kenya, requesting specifically for a redaction of the article showing the photographs of our deceased citizens of Kenya during the Dusit attack on January 15th, 2019. As a Kenyan – New Yorker, I am appalled, disgusted and even more infuriated at your ignorance and lack of empathy for a grieving community.
