Most media companies, papers, radio, television, etc, have a moral clause in their employment contract. You only have to be accused not convicted. Iam sure this is what the Tribune used to get Greene's resignation.

I dunno. Look at Opie and Anthony -- WNEW has to pay them for the remainder of their multimillion-dollar contract, even though they broadcast a couple having sex in St. Patrick's Cathedral. And I strongly doubt newspapers simply fire people for having affairs, especially not somebody as powerful as Greene. Either there are some sordid details about this that the story is lacking, or Greene got rooked.

It depends on the contract. The radio guys contract could say if the FCC nails your license but it was not outside their employment and that's the key. But here in Chicago that's the second Tribune staffer to get bounced for sex.

A sports broadcaster got caught in a minor internet sting.
