Former journalist' Dianna Russini kept knowledge of Mike Vrabel photos from bosses
Former journalist' Dianna Russini kept knowledge of Mike Vrabel photos from bosses reports how Dianna Russini, a former NFL insider, handled information about photos involving New England Patriots coach Mike Vrabel. The New York Times and The Athletic sought to respond to a New York Post report that published the images, while a newer Times report said the Post had contacted Russini two days earlier, on Easter Sunday. Russini reportedly waited two days before alerting NYT leaders, and the company initially stayed by her position; that changed once the Times opened an investigation into her prior reporting. Russini resigned a week after the photos were first published, with more images later released by other outlets. The article states Russini’s first call went to NYT Company CEO Meredith Popit Levien, and her salary was described as about $800,000 per year.
