" Veteran sportswriters made cranky by the arrival of the New Media"
Interesting piece from Dave Kindred about new media reporting and covering golf (and, yes, Wei Under Par). Here’s a key quote:
For me, the more important question is the question that has been asked of every reporter forever. Can we trust what the guy writes? Is she responsible and fair? Does he verify his information? If a reporter/writer can provide positive answers to those questions over a long period of time, yes, she’s the kind of journalist I aspire to be. If the answers are negative, he won’t be around very long, anyway, because, like golf pros who chase pars, a reporter who makes enough bogeys loses his card.
