Seattle Times real estate reporter Rosenberg resigns

Mike Rosenberg

Seattle Times real estate reporter Mike Rosenberg resigned earlier this month, reports Rich Smith of The Stranger.

Smith reports, “Rosenberg’s resignation comes a little over a month after journalist Talia Jane accused him of sending inappropriate messages via Twitter.

“When the paper was made aware of the sexual harassment allegation, the Times suspended Rosenberg and launched an internal investigation. The Times confirms the company has completed their investigation, but they refuse to disclose the findings ‘as it is a personnel matter handled directly by our human resources group.’

“The spokesperson would not answer several questions about the nature of Rosenberg’s departure, but did say that the paper is ‘as we have always been, committed to fostering a respectful workplace.’ She added that the company has ‘continued to invest in training and elevate awareness of our employee assistance program for counseling consultations as needed.'”
