Interesting commentary from Eye On Sports Media regarding the incredibly underreported arrest of Jeff Dantzler, a local sports radio personality. The author argues that the arrest for a DUI should have been reported by the other local media outlets (as of now, only Dan has written something on it) ... and I tend to agree with that argument.
It was worthwhile to report that a Georgia student-athlete was given a DUI, likewise an arrest for possession of marijuana was notable enough for the son of Rep. Paul Broun to make the local newspaper. However, Dantzler - who has a checkered past when it comes to run-ins with the law and was once suspended for inappropriate on-air comments - apparently was deemed not newsworthy enough.
Granted, covering things like DUI arrests aren't terribly newsworthy to me, but it seems to me that if you're going to cover some then you're going to face rightful criticism for not covering all.
