Just catching this - but Bolton being sidelined for the Dear Leader summit doesn't bode well for holding the line on KJU's lies, games & obfuscation. =>>https://twitter.com/maggieNYT/status/1003845874840227840 …
It could mean all sorts of things. They viewed her as fair, never blindsiding them, always getting things right. Not all tough stories are disappointing for press people - they know the stories are bad going in, so no disappointment.

"we can do the most shaping by giving it to her" means she prints what they tell her to/want her to. come on

No, that's not what it means. Press leak selectively everyday in an effort to shape coverage. If you look at this from the press operative's POV, there is nothing untoward about this as relates to the reporter.

I think if I had changed the name to someone else's, you would agree

I absolutely would not agree. I've been trying to explain these things to people for years - and 'm rather sympathetic to media criticism. But I think it's important to first understand how this works.

seems weird they would single her out then, if that's just the kind of thing that any normal reporter would do. why do they need her to do it, if its just journalism 101?

When you write for high profile publications you get more selective leaks because you have bigger readership. Lot of decisions go into this stuff.

getting a leak is not the same as printing exactly what the source wants, 100% of the time, and you know it
-
That's what press operatives mean when they say that and it's not what actually happens.
