reasons 1-2 are true and irrelevant - obviously @amymek was a legitimate subject of journalistic inquiry, the question relates to her husband's employer
reason 3 is similarly true and irrelevant - reaching out to associates is fine, but it's on ya'll to do so in a way that minimizes collateral damage. i.e. - if you must reach out to the employer, do so in a way that makes clear that you won't bring them up in the story
reason 4 is insufficient - journalistic relevance is not a bare threshold that justifies any and all journalism absent consideration of collateral damage to civilians/family members
reason 5 is just a complete failure to take ownership of the predictable consequences of one's actions the entire internet is dunking on this huffpo journalist precisely because of that failure
Reasons 1-2 are relevant because it's necessary to establish that she's a public figure, which many are denying. When that's established, then contacting associates (such as husband/husband's employer) becomes legitimate.
The onus is not on journalists to "minimize collateral damage" in the manner you claim. If the associate's employment status is deemed relevant to the story -- which it was here -- then giving that assurance ("I won't bring them up") would be journalistically invalid
The action which most people seem to object to was the firing of the husband. Who took that action? The employer. So then direct your objection at the corporation which took the allegedly objectionable action
Again, it's hilarious how you all are unable to differentiate "doxxing" and reporting. Ironically, the so-called "SJW" you deplore often do the exact same thing
