If NYT or any big dinosaur media company has any shred of integrity left they'll fire and blacklist every single so called journalist engaging in this sort of behavior. They represent your brand, their behavior is your behavior. It reflects on every other employee you have, including any presumably honest ones. If you're an honest journalist and you work for one of these companies, know that their behavior makes me and millions of others distrust you, they're making the most important company on your resume into a hindrance, you need to demand that these people be fired, if not for any reason than to save your own reputation.
