    For $40.....

    Minor league sports coverage these days is pathetic. The local paper in my market hasn’t covered a road baseball or hockey game since pre-pandemic. And the teams’ website writeups leave a lot to be desired.

    Netflix doc revisits Te'o girlfriend story

    I thought the Netflix doc was pretty good. My biggest issue was how much airtime they gave the scammer. I get that it was important to hear her talk and sort of explain her motives, but that is all I needed to hear. She spoke to the camera as much or more than Manti, it felt like.

    Thanks again, AP

    I am on 10 minutes and counting of scrolling through replies and searching for this video.

    Denver Post Hockey Writer Wins Stanley Cup!

    IMO, that is the absolute batshirt nonsense kind of story and news cycle that (coupled with other factors, namely salary) drives young people away from this career path.

    Denver Post Hockey Writer Wins Stanley Cup!

    I stepped on the logo once. I was probably 25 years old, just filling in at a press conference while our beat writer was on vacation. The team’s PR guy, in the nicest way possible, nudged me and raised his eyebrows, gesturing to get off the logo. I did move. But I was also thinking, “Really...

    Denver Post Hockey Writer Wins Stanley Cup!

    [_X_] Messy, booze-stained shirt [_X_] Hoisting the Cup over his head [_X_] Victory cigar A hat trick! I’d have had no problem with this guy taking a classic “grip and grin” photo with the Cup — it’s a cool moment, one that I, too, would like to document and share with family and friends — but...

    Great Recession did in print. I think this upcoming one takes out local TV news.

    All I know is that online or streaming video advertising — such as YouTube, Hulu or Twitch — is much cheaper and much more targeted than local TV news advertising.

    Tension at The Washington Post

    Turn the WaPo newsroom into an F1/Netflix-style show. People will watch. And they will better understand the work done by journalists.

    Departures at 247Sports

    On3 caught up to Rivals and 247 in no time. I think it already has the best coverage and message board community for my team.

    Should Dwayne Haskins' blood alcohol level at the time of his death have been reported?

    It is certainly news. If Adam Schefter hadn’t clumsily broken the news about Haskins dying, I think this wouldn’t even be a question. But, I think, the Schefter situation put a bad taste in peoples’ mouths and now weeks later we are returning to this story with bad news, the kind that paints...

    USFL Coverage

    I agree with this point. I was surprised that in Week 1, the Birmingham game drew 17,500 fans. Not bad. Then I flipped on another game that same weekend, without the Birmingham “home team” playing, and it couldn’t have been more than 2,500. What’s the difference, other than the name on the...

    JMU softball player death and possible suicide - too far?

    RIP, Lauren. Seems like, sadly, we all have some personal anecdotes that tie back to this topic. Years ago, a local high school team had a player die by suicide. That alone, while tragic, wasn’t a story for the sports section. However, this death caused a major disruption to the team’s...

    Taylor Lorenz says she has "severe PTSD" from being a journalist

    She is a must-read for tech and social media reporting.

    Good enough for an obit in The Plain Dealer

    The editor’s “apology” article was fine. It was sincere. And I appreciate the fact it was written, because I’m all for more transparency into how journalism is made, warts and all. I do feel sorry for Pearl’s family, though. They just tried doing a nice thing to memorialize their pet. As a...

    Cameras 101

    Fielding opinions on here is helpful. But I’d also direct you to YouTube, which is where I learned everything I know about photography (including which cameras and lenses to buy). A lot of helpful creators on there. They will all tell you — and I can attest to it, as well — a solid understanding...

    Reporters as fans

    If you think people celebrating their personal success is pretentious — and OK, maybe it is to some degree — I promise you that it is not as bad as your judgmental negativity.
