A New York Times spokesperson said: "What Dean is calling for is a reset in our newsroom's approach to Twitter and other social media platforms. First, maintaining a presence on Twitter and other social media is now purely optional for Times journalists. We have a dedicated team to support Times journalists, and we're rolling out new training and tools to help prevent and respond to online abuse. Masthead editors, department heads and our Standards department will pay close attention to how all Times journalists use social media to ensure it is in line with our social media guidelines. You'll likely have questions on this, so we've developed an FAQ with the main points from our social media policy and these updates.
