Sex and Brand

Hey Katy-

I found an interesting story about ESPN baseball analyst Steve Phillips being fired over a scandal with one of his co-workers. According to the article, ESPN let him go because "his ability to be an effective representative for ESPN has been significantly and irreparably damaged, and it became evident it was time to part ways."

I think this is relevant to what you and the J202 TAs have talked about in regards to the integrity of a journalist. This article shows that errors and bias in a journalist's articles/stories/columns/etc. may not be the only way to destroy his or her reputation.

Here is a link to one of many articles on his scandal

Thanks,

Steve Phillips FIRED By ESPN Over Sex Scandal, Entering Treatment Facility
