NYT and The Athletic Investigate Dianna Russini After Photos With Patriots Coach Surface
The outlet is reviewing whether Russini’s coverage of Vrabel was affected after photos sparked questions about a larger group and possible ethical concerns.
- The Athletic launched an internal investigation into NFL reporter Dianna Russini on Tuesday after photographs surfaced showing her with New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel at Ambiente Sedona resort in Arizona.
- Page Six published the images on March 28 after an anonymous tipster attempted to sell them to TMZ for a 'four-figure' sum, though Russini claimed the photos lacked context.
- Editors are now pressing for evidence supporting Russini's assertion that a larger group of six people was present during the interactions, while The Athletic executive editor Steven Ginsberg initially defended her as a 'premier journalist.'
- Sources told Fox News Digital that Russini is not currently reporting for The Athletic while her coverage remains under review, expected to take time as new details raise additional concerns.
- Questions about newsroom norms regarding reporter-source interactions have intensified this week, with The New York Times ordering its own internal scrutiny as the probe aims to address broader concerns about journalistic integrity.
