If you disagree with how he does his job, that is fine, you can express that. No need to ever personally attack someone, and it is cowardly to do so hiding behind a screen name. I don't know why we act like the internet gives us permission to treat people differently than we would treat them face to face. I am positive that JK is a person. It is also my opinion that he is a below average reporter. He is always free to prove me otherwise. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When a past generation reporter got to exclusively cover the USF beat, they got to spend lots of time around USF. Also, many times sources want something in return, like coverage for what they care about. If we don't have the inches of space in the paper for USF coverage we once had, sources may be harder to come by. Fair enough. My criticism of his coverage is the lack of insider information and breaking news. Greg did a great job of fostering relationships and getting scoops. While he may not have the print space, he has a valuable blog at his disposal, so it isn't like he is unable to offer sources anything in exchange. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure the FSU beat writer is doing a fine job covering USF for our Tally Bulls. Take your head out of your butt... the story was about QF not FSU. There was nothing else to cover about USF after CJF’s Bulls 💩 the bed against Buffalo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he interviewed our ex coach. He also asked questions about Q to Willie. Jesus, let the guy make a living. He also covered the road race in Tampa a few weeks ago. He is not property to USF. The way the newspaper industry is going all reporters are multitasking. Truth...it's kinda slow for USF sports, there are Noles fans in the area and most importantly...as you noted, they need to keep these guys fully active, and trying to generate clicks and sales. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not seeing much about USF on their beat writer's pages...plenty of Bulls in Tally. If enough of us demand it, think we can get him to cover us as well?

It misses the real point and the reason that we need a new beat writer, and that is the fact that Joey Knight is lazy as a beat writer. He doesn't cultivate sources. He doesn't break stories. He is essentially a human Google Alert and lets us know when someone else breaks something USF related. This is what happens when you are the only show in town. At least when the Tampa Tribune was a competitor it forced the Times to care about their coverage a little bit more. This. Joey is not a good USF beat writer but this story in particular isn't something to ***** about. This is actually one of the 3 or so stories he will write this year that are actually original content and a bit outside of the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would you have been happier if he’d written about USF’s low attendance at the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we'll be relevant someday and he'll have more to write about. I'm sure he had high hopes of writing an article about the women's team, but that kind of went in the crapper.
