I was just wondering, considering that most of the threads on this section of the forum are generally critical of journalists, that who of us consider to be (generally) credible RL journalists? (Or commentators).
Almost every post in this section is negative, and for good reason due to the standard of the majority of rugby league media articles, commentary and broadcasts that we are subjected to.
Off hand, I can think of a few.
1. Steve Mascord. Just said things how they were and didn't feel the need to sensationalize stuff.
2. Even though he's not a journalist, Roy Masters goes ok at times although he's going a bit senile. His articles I find hard to read because they jump all over the place and don't flow with his thoughts. Eventually, he get's his point across, but it's messy. At least he generally supports the game. And, he hates AFL.
3. Sterlo. 'Nuff said. Forever the professional. (Once again though, not a journalist).
4. David Morrow used to be excellent on the ABC and still isn't too bad, but it's sad seeing him dragged down by the CTT on that rag of a station 2GB.
5. Andrew Moore goes ok on the ABC these days.
6. Dan Ginane (on MMM and now Fox) I reckon also goes ok as a commentator and general RL radio host.
I'm sure there's some I've missed, and I'm sure some of my list some of you will disagree with, but, I just thought I'd try and put some positivity into the media thread.
Surely in the media section of LU, we can actually post some good media as well.
Please don't turn this post into a shit fight argument. Save that for the Fight Club.
I'm hoping this will be generally a positive thread where positive RL stories and opinions can be posted.
Unleash.
Suity.
