Coverage of the bombings in Austin, Tex., by The Times and other media outlets has incited a discussion among readers about racial and religious bias in the news. Our journalists are available to address your questions and concerns about how we cover attacks and the people who commit them.

Please submit your questions and comments for Marc Lacey, our National editor; Cynthia Collins, our Social and Community editor; Anne Barnard, our Beirut bureau chief; and Hanna Ingber, our Reader Center editorial director.
