Why are we allowing public officials to be unnamed in stories such as this? What is journalistically useful about publishing an anonymously sourced, non-essential, gossipy story? How does this help our already strained credibility? The journalistic ethics I was taught said we only used anonymous sources for the most critical stories when there was no other means of obtaining this critical information. In these unprecedented times, our field must hold itself to higher standards. We are failing in too many ways.
