According to Inside Radio, “ESPN has enlisted the Poynter Institute to act as an ethics and standards watchdog for its cable sports empire. The Poynter Institute, a school for professional journalists, will review ESPN content and act as an ombudsman. Its commentary will be posted online at ESPN.com. One of three professors who will be watching ESPN is already familiar with one of its big-name talents. Poynter professor Kelly McBride recently waived a red flag about Tony Kornheiser, a co-host of ESPN’s popular sports talk show “Pardon the Interruption.” McBride chastised Kornheiser for his unwillingness on his Washington, D.C., radio show to address a big story about Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder suing the City Paper over its less than flattering portrayal of him. The station Kornheiser works for is owned by one of Snyder’s companies. Poynter is basically taking the job that had been held by sports and television industry veteran Don Ohlmeyer, who had served as ESPN’s ombudsman for the last 18 months. “
