    We wanted to know how news orgs were instructing journalists to navigate the ethical minefield that is possessing insider information in a golden age of sports betting. Nieman Lab asked several newsrooms a straightforward question: Does your newsroom ban its journalists from betting on sports they cover?

    A surprising (to me!) number of news orgs either declined to comment or simply didn’t respond. Among those that did reply? Well, it turns out there are big gaps between newsrooms on the issue right now. Some say beat reporters are banned from betting on the leagues they cover. Some say betting is part of their reporters’ jobs. Others leave it up to individual journalists.
