  1. @Editer And I think this thread on SJ.com http://bit.ly/8KGCPx strikes a diff. tone than Lipsyte's "media goes after Selena Roberts" take.
  2. @Editer Agree w/ some of Lipsyte piece, but only example he gave of media bashing steroid story breakers is Murray Chass. Hardly "most".
  3. @Editer If you're interested, see sportsjournalists.com. Lots of good discussions abt such issues on there.
  4. @Editer I'd say future access is part of consideration in sports journos' work, but it doesn't drive it. Most won't accept those terms.
  5. @Editer How many is "many other"? A handful of high-profile columnists? Seriously, that's a while back, so I can't remember. Links?
  6. @Editer And I've seen fair number of them put in extra effort to track down stories when the team/program is being uncooperative.
  7. @Editer I've worked w/ sports journos who are cheerleaders, but on the whole, most I've come across are not.
  8. @Editer Disagree. Define "uncritical". No criticism of bad program or bad performance? If so, I'd say your assessment is way off.
  9. @jayrosen_nyu I'd say team-hired beat reporters would be PR, but if we accept sources going direct as news, then this would be no diff.
  10. @jayrosen_nyu Thanks for clarifying, and for the link. Good read.
  11. @jayrosen_nyu Need a little clarification on that pt. Hype and debunking hype are the same discourse; therefore ...?
  12. @jayrosen_nyu If 75% of press hypes up one thing, and then the other 25% pokes holes in hype, is that really "deflating your own hype"?
  13. @jayrosen_nyu Re "deflate their own hype" view, why does the "press" seem to be portrayed as a homogeneous entity acting as one?
  14. @johnmcquaid Yes. If the journos are able to continue reporting, I'd say the loss is offset.
  15. @johnmcquaid If those are indeed fine correspondents as you say, then I'd say readers lose when fine journos are put out of circulation.
  16. @RL_Bynum Ha. Love the length you're going to to avoid saying the bowl's sponsor name.
  17. RT @RL_Bynum Hansborough's aggressive approach making an impression. (via @TarHeelTimes) http://ow.ly/FeVw
  18. Puffing on the History of Tobacco at Duke Homestead http://bit.ly/4Cne30
  19. @Chanders For both: Expertise in data presentation -- identifying most effective way to communicate each component of the story.
  20. @Chanders For live news: Obviously know-how to get 5 Ws and H. Also, enough expertise in subject to be able to quickly add some context.
