Straits Times' news editor, Marc Lim is understood to have been demoted after a Committee of Inquiry was convened on Monday to look into an allegation made against him having an affair with an intern.
Mr Lim, 42, is married and has two kids.
He was appointed news editor in September 2016.
Among his key duties is to oversee Singapore news coverage across print and digital platforms.

TOC understands that Mr Lim has been removed from editorial functions and will not have any more supervisory roles in his current capacity.
He has also been demoted two levels as a result of the COI investigation.
It is also understood that the police is investigating into the matter due to certain complications.
TOC has reached out to Singapore Press Holdings for its comments yesterday and its head of communications Ms Chin Soo Fang said it is still looking into TOC's queries.
