@JustinCToscano Yeah, I don't consider those people to be... well, I just don't consider those people. I mean, who gives a shit if I know so and so is getting traded to such and such 5 minutes before somebody else? Tell me about the GAME. 47 views · 0 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies 04 Sep 2026 @JustinCToscano Amen 798 views · 2 likes · 0 reposts · 0 replies 04 Sep 2026 And if you support journalism, you’re awesome ✊🏽 I can also tell you this from doing the gig: There are so many real fans who devour smart, well-written content. They want anything they can get and pay to support it. You do it for people like that. 5.8K views · 66 likes · 3 reposts · 5 replies 04 Sep 2026 Also, going to just say it: People like Shams and Schefter aren’t journalists. They spend their days doing favors for agents and executives to be able to break news. They report what someone wants you to know. Fine, whatever, who cares. But a lot of it is so clearly copy-paste. 20.1K views · 148 likes · 10 reposts · 3 replies 04 Sep 2026 I subscribe to @sdut and @azcentral because I believe they’re important to communities I care about. I urge you to take the time to seek out the people actually doing the job. I think you’d be surprised in the difference in quality from what you think sports journalism is. 4.5K views · 34 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 Great journalism isn’t junk food. It takes time and effort. Real relationships. Skill. Talent. My suggestion: If you wish sports media were better, pay to support the people doing that great work. As consumers, we have the power to dictate what is valued. 10.5K views · 126 likes · 26 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 More recently, media companies tried to pivot to getting lots of subscriptions. The issue: They spent years putting out content meant to get clicks, which many times is NOT content someone will actually pay to read. So they kind of shot themselves in the foot. 4.2K views · 40 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 But the problem, again, is this: Media companies making less money = fewer reporters = less time for reporters to truly be distinct (it’s really difficult to juggle the daily workload AND be different). 4.2K views · 47 likes · 0 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 The reporters on the ground — local and national — are the lifeblood of sports media. But everything they write / report is instantly aggregated. It’s like someone profiting off your work. It stinks. So then media companies go: We have to be distinct! 4.8K views · 53 likes · 2 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 I did the job and can tell you this: A well-reported feature that humanizes a subject often doesn’t get as many clicks as some stupid, foofy story. And the metrics show that people 1. Aren’t reading as much and 2. Aren’t reading as long when they do read. 7.9K views · 78 likes · 1 reposts · 2 replies 04 Sep 2026 The social media age made aggregation popular at the same time that many media companies wanted clicks, clicks, clicks for digital ads. So you had more hot take artists, talking heads, listicles, photo galleries, etc. and less genuine reporting. 8.5K views · 55 likes · 1 reposts · 1 replies 04 Sep 2026 I’ve seen a lot of comments saying “it’s sad what sports journalism has become.” I don’t feel this is framed correctly. There are TONS of talented writers and reporters eager to tell in-depth, humanizing stories. But they’re not valued as they should be.
