On his best behavior<\/b><\/a> – The Wash. Times<\/i>
I am not posting this article about Terrell Owens<\/span> of the Dallas Cowboys because I care about what the NFL’s biggest diva says or does. I am posting this article because of who wrote it. The byline says “Mickey Spagnola<\/span>” and is credited as “SPECIAL TO THE WASHINGTON TIMES.” While that is true, there is a little more to the story than The Wash. Times<\/span> is letting on. Spagnola is employed by the Cowboys<\/span><\/a>, Owens’ current team, and there is no mention (online at least) of that fact. By not revealing that, The Wash. Times<\/span> is misleading their readership into thinking that story was independently reported. At the very least, The Wash. Times<\/span> should have disclosed that Spagnola is a Cowboys employee. A better decision would have been to not run the article at all.<\/p>\n

The Cowboys may say that Spagnola is completely independent editorially, and in practice he may be, but I cannot help but have doubts. One of the main points of the media ethics class I took at Penn State with Prof. Russell Frank<\/span><\/a> was that the appearance of a conflict of interest is as bad as actual conflict of interest. Running an article produced by an organization about itself as news is, in my opinion, a major conflict of interest. To use another example, it would be like running a news story about the President in The Wash. Times<\/span> that was written by a White House employee.<\/p>\n

Also, I have to wonder what Dan Snyder<\/span> thinks of a D.C. paper running stories produced by the team his Redskins are playing this week, given his desire to control all Redskins information (Triple X radio, producing all those Redskins TV shows). Additionally, I cannot help but feel for Tom Cruise<\/span>, who might have to listen to Snyder complain all day about what The Wash. Times<\/span> just did.<\/p>\n
