NBC Boston reporter says she was fired for failing to disclose her relationship with a police chief
Former NBC Boston reporter Karen Hensel.
When does who you’re dating become your company’s business?
According to what NBC Boston brass have told staff, journalists can date or marry whomever they want, but if there’s a conflict of interest or potential for one, they should disclose the relationship to a manager.
Failure to do that apparently cost award-winning reporter Karen Hensel her job at the TV station, where the newsroom is buzzing over her dramatic departure Monday. In an e-mail to staff, Hensel said she was fired because she is dating Auburn Police Chief Andrew Sluckis Jr.
