The Hill does same and adds quotes from Rand Corp analysis. (Though I could be wrong, I imagine editors there might have a similar policy as they do seem to strive to report politics in a non-partisan fashion and I don't see any of their reporters on cable TV news.)

New York Times reinforces policy prohibiting reporters from appearing on partisan cable shows like Maddow

[....] According to the Times' handbook of Values and Practices for the News and Editorial Departments, staff members should avoid shows that "emphasize punditry and reckless opinion-mongering."

Staff members "may participate in radio, television or Internet interviews or discussions, paid or unpaid, that deal with articles they have written or subjects that figure in the coverage they provide, edit, package or supervise," the public document reads.

"In deciding whether to make a radio, television or Internet appearance, a staff member should consider its probable tone and content to make sure they are consistent with Times standards," it adds. "Staff members should avoid strident, theatrical forums that emphasize punditry and reckless opinion-mongering."

Kavanagh also serves as a senior political scientist at Rand Corp.

The New York Times is warning off editors and reporters from appearing on primetime MSNBC and CNN shows hosted by anchors like Rachel Maddow and Don Lemon for fear of appearing partisan, according to a new report.

Sources tell Vanity Fair’s Joe Pompeo that managers at the newspaper have been steering journalists away from appearing on certain cable news programs with a renewed vigor.

Alongside Maddow and Lemon, Lawrence O’Donnell’s show on MSNBC is also apparently a no-go, as are Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson’s programs — though Times reporters were typically never seen on those shows anyway.

Reached for comment by Vanity Fair, a Times spokeswoman pointed to the section of the newspaper’s “Ethical Journalism” handbook that covers broadcast media appearances: [....]
