FYI, I've decided to do the story and not say anything. I should note that I do NOT think this is the right thing to do, but unfortunately I don't have the courage at this point to address the issue the way I feel I should. Someone mentioned a "perfect journalism world" and that is truly what I try to adhere to every single day. If this were a question on a journalism class exam I'd answer "tell the ND there's a conflict of interest and refuse to do the story." But this isn't a test. It's real life. And regretably I'm not at the point in my recovery where I'm ready to start advertising it. And I'm not proud of that. Hopefully the day will come when I can own all of my faults...and the ways I've chosen to deal with them.
Thank you all for taking the time to respond...there were a lot of really thoughtful replies here.
