I commented a week or two ago about the Golfweek cover displaying a noose. I still believe the cover was choosen in bad taste and that the editor should probably be punished for it. However, I do not think think firing him was necessary. I see how this cover could have been very offensive to some but I think it is obvious that the editor was not out to hurt people. He made a bad judgement call that jeopordized his career. This raises an interesting issue invloving ethics. Does it seem fair that something like putting a rope on the cover of a magazine can cost you your career? Making ethical decisions for many editors is something very serious as we've seen in this case. One wrong choice that doesn't go well with the public can have very serious repercussions.
