@richarddeitsch @evanFmoore I used to work at the Grand Forks Herald and I wish more people understood this! The reporter covering the city council meeting and school board meeting is not the same as the talking head on CNN or Fox.

@richarddeitsch When the local papers abandoned journalism and balanced reporting is when, and why they failed. They laid people off because 50% of the readers were alienated, or not represented and quit subscribing or paying attention. Opinion colums became every column, reflect

The death of local newspapers is a disaster that will really play out in the decades come to come, especially with declining media literacy. The thing here is that a lot of jabrones lump everyone in "The Media" together.

@richarddeitsch Met him in Plainville CT at a roller hockey rink where I played in the early 90’s. ESPN dudes had a team in the league. As nice of a guy you could meet.

Barry Melrose has passed away. One of the true media evangelists for the NHL. Rest in peace.

Engelbert also spoke with @howardmegdal/@TheIXSports. So they set Cathy up with another writer with longtime WNBA bona fides.
Just me: I like seeing this as opposed to dropping it in the lap of some big outlet or media person who simply has reach sports media fame.

Inside sports media baseball:
Cathy Engelbert/her PR group/the NBA league office opts to essentially break this with @AP_Sports and a respected writer who has covered the league for decades. So an announcement timed with a piece with her extended thoughts.

Had a really good conversation with @WNBA Commissioner Cathy Engelbert about her decision to retire. It was purely her choice. https://t.co/pGwDY3eISs

This is a fantastic piece on @BrittBundlez by @libaanstar1.
Also, yet another athlete who is open about mental health. That kind of transparency from public people, and I can say this as the son of psychologist, really can save lives.
