New York Times Reassigns Reporter Who Had Sexual Relationship With Source

[THEWRAP] The New York Times

...which still proudly displays Walter Duranty's Pulitzer prize...
 has reassigned news hound Ali Watkins after news emerged last month that she had a sexual relationship with a source while she was at her previous employer BuzzFeed.

"We are troubled by Ali’s conduct, particularly while she was employed by other news organizations," said Times executive editor Dean Baquet in an internal memo on Tuesday. "For a news hound to have an intimate relationship with someone he or she covers is unacceptable. It violates our written standards and the norms of journalism."

Not so troubled as to fire her outright, at which point she'd get picked up by CNN.
