Thank you and keep up the good work.

He had an affair, or quite a few of them, but we do not need to base his career off of what is happening in his personal life. The news has most likely has made Tiger to the point where he does not enjoy golf as much. Careers and personal life need to be made seperate. If you are going to judge him, judge him based on who he is personally, not this high ranking golfer. I honestly believe that people should just let it go.

They say they have the largest viewing audience in the entire Texas Panhandle, and apparently, they want to keep it so bad, they'll get whatever scandalous story there is, especially if it's dirt on an esteemed school such as ours. Plus, that whole deal on a coach a day after the segment on a teacher just screams the fact they've waited for something to tarnish our school. Otherwise, they would have reported on the coach's resignation when it happened. Sensational old news and sensational new news. Yeah, that makes for a great system that will totally put News Channel 10 on top. Well, yeah, News Channel 10 is gonna choose what gets more viewers.

It's not that I think the unfortunate situations need to be swept under the rug, but that there needs to be full and complete reporting. Ethical journalism sometimes demands pushing back a report until a complete and fair picture can be constructed. It seems like NewsChannel 10 and Megan Moore in particular were more concerned with doing a "live" report in the wind in front of CHS than with producing a coherent and thoughtfully research piece of journalism to offer to their audience. Doing a spot "on location" offered nothing of substance to the story -- was she expecting live footage of a perp walk? I was particularly disturbed by the unspoken insinuation that there was some kind of coverup involved. Never mind that the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) specifically exempts the release of employee disciplinary files in these kinds of investigations. It's just a lot more fun to subtly (or not-so-subtly, as the case may be) hint that CISD is hiding the truth than researching the educational code and case law to see exactly what can be legally and responsibly released to the media. As with all broadcast journalism, NewsChannel 10 is selling a product. Part of that product is a dedication to ethical reporting. They will not be the recipient of my patronage any longer and I encourage everyone to decide if they are worthy of the public trust to which they lay claim.
