Rotten

In December 2014, Haughney left her staff reporter job on The New York Times media desk to consult with Zero Point Zero Production (the Emmy-award winning television production company behind Anthony Bourdain's Parts Unknown and Mind of a Chef) about developing a series on crimes in the food world.

The web series was launched on ZPZ's partner website Food Republic in June 2015. The four episode and the accompanying articles attracted extensive media attention, views on YouTube and even helped a French government official get his job back. In 2016, Netflix purchased Food Crimes and turned it into the series Rotten which streamed on the network in January 2018. During the production of Rotten, Haughney oversaw a team of four investigative reporters for all six episodes who developed all of the season's episodes from original idea through postproduction.
