Journalism High Road or Missing the Boat?

TIGER WOODS HAS reportedly checked into some sort of clinic in Hattiesburg, Mississippi for sex addicts, and the media have pounced on the story.

The local newspaper in Hattiesburg, however, refuses to stalk the golf superstar.

"Unless there is some confirmation from the clinic or Woods himself, we don't intend to assign a reporter/photographer team to this story," reads an editorial in the paper.

Are they missing the boat on a giant story? Or are they acting in a respectable manner?

Could you take the high road while everyone else is climbing trees and flying overhead in helicopters trying to see Tiger? What would you do?
