Too Much Coverage
Tuesday, December 8, 2009

Tiger Wood's recent misfortune has caused a waterfall effect in the media industry. Everywhere you go it seems as though you can't escape his all to public scandal. If there is a scandal at all.
The press are having a hay day with Tiger Wood's accident and love life. He is being put on trial and exploited for matters that many feel should be private. Wood's is famous for golfing, not for his driving skills and morality.
If you go to googlenews.com headline coverage of his accident is still circulating on the current news, even though it happened over a weed ago. There are three headlines to be exact.
It makes you wonder what actual newsworthy events are being bumped from the page to allow the space for these invasive and obsolete articles.

It is getting ridiculous, but when someone makes that much money and is held in that high of regard, a sex scandal is exactly what people look for in order to a) bring him down b) humiliate him c) sell magazines and get viewers to sites. I've certainly tried to avoid most of the Tiger media over the past week, just keeping up with the broad strokes of the developments.
The car crash is certainly "old" news but it was the catalyst to the entire story.
You know this could be considered "bad" news for Tiger, but he is still getting coverage. People are talking about him and are wondering what he is up to. His name is all over everything, even though he has supposedly done something morally wrong, he is still getting coverage. There might even be statistics that the brands he endorse are doing better since this recent outbreak.
