The journalists still active in the scene are afraid of covering controversial issues because of Blizzard potentially cutting off their access (which they have done in the past).
I believe this is a key problem and I've been talking about it for the last year since I stopped doing any journalism work. The clicks are obviously there for people who are connected (or want to connect) and can follow the correct processes.https://twitter.com/forddeka/status/1042435245071654912 …

No. People don't want to talk to us, plain and simple. There is no shortage of desire to work on controversial issues. I have poked and prodded and reached out to folks over controversy since pre-OWL days. Got lucky sometimes, but usually it's just silence.

Unfortunately proper journalism takes more time than posting a clickbait YouTube video. It’s also on the leakers for talking to the wrong outlets.

The scene gets what it deserves. Like League before them the kids have chased all the good journalists out. Speaking from my own experience I saw people wanted the rulebook to be released. I used my source network to get it, something no one else could. Got called a liar.

People said it was out of date (it wasn't) then moved on to saying I was a piece of shit so they'd prefer the rules to not be public if I was the one to release them. No one commented on Blizzard blocking my website from the stadium. My view now? Fuck them.
