The Newspaper Association of America’s statement came in response to a petition organized by The David S. Wyman Institute for Holocaust Studies and former New York Times reporter Laurence Zuckerman citing research revealing that U.S. journalism schools refused requests to accept Jewish journalists fleeing Hitler, because they feared the increased competition for jobs.
