    So you "accidentally" get a text with newsworthy info ...

    As case was with Manziel and AP yesterday. How would you handle it? This is a text clearly sent to you by mistake. Is it fair game to use on the record? Probably a conversation reporters should have with their editors.

They're hard to find and high-priced on Amazon, but figured I'd try here. Just shoot me a message...

    Simers vs. Mora

    Watching postgame presser of Jim Mora after Stanford, he and Simers twice got into it. Here's link with video: http://coachingsearch.com/home/1818-jim-mora-jr-argues-with-columnist-over-uclas-effort-you-dont-scare-me.html Too adversarial for a press conference? Suppose it would be difficult to...

    ESPN's new transparency in online fixes?

    Is this new practice for ESPN? Reading their college basketball top 25 preview, and I see the phrase "with all four off the the NBA" in the UNC preview. Harmless wrong-word mistake, but ESPN makes a point to insert a parenthetical (Correction: "to") instead of just fixing, where all they're...

    Bourne? ESPN ...

    Headline on Braves-Astros deal, half-hour after story posted, says "Braves trade for CF Michael Bourne." Bad, because name is wrong on one of the bigger names in the trade deadline. I guess the Sunday morning shift isn't the prized one ...

    How quickly do you retweet something from unknown source on Twitter?

    Interesting stuff here. http://jasonschreier.com/2011/07/27/twitter-killing-journalism/ There's no need to kill the whole medium. It's not that you can't trust Twitter; you have to be careful about who you trust on Twitter. There's a far-too-easy ability to retweet something, then do the...
