I'm sure the FSU beat writer is doing a fine job covering USF for our Tally Bulls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably prepaid his hotel for several nights to save some money ... but then unexpectedly had some time to kill and this was a perfect time killer.

Please understand the newspaper industry is changing drastically and our marketplace for that coverage is changing (1 daily paper vs. 2). He doesn't have the same resources that past generations of beat writers have had. He doesn't hate/dislike/slant coverage against USF. As a reporter we are going to like some of what he has to say and not other things, but he still has a job to report them. I got lots of respect for many of our writers over the years and there are some that I didn't want on the beat. Joey is in the group that I respect (along with Greg and Joey Johnson for the record). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the budget cuts prevent the development of relationships, sources, and, ultimately, breaking news? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is an opinion, but it certainly might. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a lot of positions that are being fought for and our Offence and Defense's are still evolving. I'm glad in this sense that we don't have any coverage as, the less coverage the better. The less film teams we'll be facing this year have on us, the better. Joey was plugging Q and I'm fine with that. Our Basketball programs just had a down moment, The men had a forgettable season with some season ending upside. Our Women had a great season with a heartbreaking loss to end it. I'm sure both squads would enjoy some rest at the moment and not have to deal with microphones, phone call's, text's or e-mails from media personnel asking a plethora of questions. Lets just take this moment in time, relax and enjoy some well earned silence. We can start ******** again April 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reporters actually have bosses that tell them what stories to run. Its not as much Freedom as you think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
