Summary
A 5,000-word New York Times report laid out the fallout from Dianna Russini’s exit from The Athletic after the Mike Vrabel leaked-photos scandal, surfacing the company’s most detailed account yet.
Nearly $800,000 a year was Russini’s reported salary at The Athletic, according to a former manager cited by the Times, putting her among the highest-paid journalists at the company.
The report says the scandal stunned Times management because Russini was not a routine hire but a marquee NFL insider whose compensation reflected that status.
The Times is still wrapping up its investigation into the Vrabel episode, suggesting the long-awaited internal accounting may not be the final development in the case.
