Public relations

Famed golfer might have brought the media whirlwind on himself, not just because of his alleged illicit behavior but also because of his mishandling of the aftermath of the accident outside his estate.


Media

Network offers its chief Washington correspondent the coveted job of co-hosting "Good Morning America" and intensive negotiations are underway, according to sources. Talks involve not just the level of compensation, but also the details of his duties if he replaces Diane Sawyer.

Advice
