NYT profile of Dianna Russini skips Julio Jones trade questions
NBC Sports blasts the New York Times for dodging the unresolved ethics and sourcing questions tied to Russini’s reporting on the Julio Jones trade.
NBC Sports has called out the New York Times for what it calls a glaring omission in its profile of former Times reporter Dianna Russini: the unresolved questions surrounding her reporting on the Julio Jones trade. The NBC Sports column, published Tuesday, argues that the Times piece sidestepped the ethical and sourcing issues tied to Russini’s 2021 report that the Atlanta Falcons were closing in on a deal to send Julio Jones to the Tennessee Titans. Russini left the Times shortly after the report published, then broke the actual trade news days later at The Athletic.
