A Golf Channel announcer made a comment about lynching when speaking of Tiger Woods and immediately apologized, which Woods and his camp accept but other activists are saying is not enough. They want her fired. But now, a Golfweek magazine editor has lost his job over how his publication covered the flap. Lots to learn in this about decisionmaking and "what not to do." A good first primer in media ethics.

I looked at the graphic for the Golf magazine article. I understand the idea of going with a strong graphic, but that was totally inappropriate especially for the cover of the magazine. In all the uproar the comment itself was causing, I don't see how this ever could have seemed like a good idea.
