But I would ask the ND if anyone else could cover this one, due to a conflict of interest. Say it's family, and leave it at that.
NEVER reveal. I know a guy that was later fired for doing just that. |

have a discussion with your News Director with the Human Resources director also in the room. This is for your protection and the station.
Your ND needs to know, only because you've been assigned to a story like this. If you hadn't been assigned this story, there'd be no reason to say anything.
Your HR Director needs to be there because that is a protection for you so your ND doesn't have a shit-fit. It basically keeps everyone honest. And of course, you tell those two you want everything kept confidential.
One more more, document everything.
