Re: Tressel Out at OSU
Well said, Jeg. If every college had a beat writer with one tenth of the journalistic integrity and talent as the guy who wrote the SI article, we would see dozens of stories just like this every year.
The problem with sports journalism (and most journalism) today is that everyone just wants to get along and be buddy-buddy with the school or person/government they are assigned to cover. They think they will be the first to "get the scoop" if they are friendly with the program. In the end, they usually just end up serving as an extension of the Sports Information department.
