Cosell's corner: Musings on the media


The media are capable of stunning successes -- Watergate -- and abject failures -- Richard Jewell -- and sports journalism is no different from the news side. ESPN's "Outside the Lines" has asked some very tough questions about Nike's labor practices in Vietnam. Yet USA Today deserves a black mark for outing Arthur Ashe's bout with HIV. The selections below take a critical look at various issues in sports journalism. Accordingly, Ebbets Field calls this Cosell's corner, after the first father of American sports journalism.
