I guess they must report the news no matter if the situation is connected in-house or not.
Back during the Lewinsky scandal days a news anchor in the city where I lived was under investigation in a HUGE prostitution sting. His wife was his co-anchor. The station didn't assign either of them to report on the situation and didn't cover on their schedule (but they did something about it on air), as I recall, but he went to "rehab" and came back weeks later and they gave his wife all the Monica stories to read at the desk with him, which I thought made for some darn awkward viewing. She waited a while to divorce him, he was eventually off the air/let go, and, sadly, he later committed suicide. What made it even sadder was that they had young children. Sometimes I wish we didn't know so much about the personal lives of our newspeople.
