Am I the only one stunned that this reporter did not have back up files for all of her work? Surely withholding sensitive contacts in work files? It seems to me that this reporter failed to adequately protect her files from this type of outcome, or from other types of theft...unless she did account for it, and set a clever information bomb.
Hard to tell. She may have saved early stuff......but if she was working on an angle
when she got axed she may not have saved that particular chapter. We dont know.
It is Monday morning quarterbacking to expect someone to know their employer would violate one hundred years of practice in the company and industry to fire them and then seize their files.
Now reporters know—trust no-one ever.
