But it is short sighted. People were pronouncing Blockbuster Video dead about 10-15 years early. Just because people are moving away from print doesn't mean it will be a quick death. The 7 day a week print edition is a big deal and part of the equation here, even if it doesn't exist in 5 years.

You're inability to graps that this is not about quality reporting, but selling more papers and ads is simply wrong

You're the only one that thinks this is about quality reporting, you're arguing as if people are saying Benson gave the Advocate some journalistic integrity award. You're either really bad at reading comprehension or really bad at picking fights.

Like this a lot. This town needs a better class of professional NBA writers. Hopefully this move pushes TP/Advocate to make it happen

thats where it started.

my first post was

You people think this has anything to do woth reporting?

The advocate paid sponsorship dollars. No different than mcdonalds or people's health.

Absolutely nothing to do with who they think is better

and your OP

quote:
It will be interesting to see if there is improved coverage of the team with more professional competition. I know the team itself has stepped up their coverage with the Black and Blue report and official Pelicans blogger Jim Eichenhofer has been putting out a lot of good content lately considering how light the news is right now.

i never made this about quality reporting. never. please link that post. My statements are about the pros of web based news over print and that this has nothing to do with who the Benson's think has better reporters.

and for good measure, since you mentioned blockbuster, they are moving to streaming only. if you have disk at home service, they sent a message saying to keep the disk you currently have as a 'gift'... everything is online.

the simple end to this entire thread is that being the "official" anything is about paying $$$ for it. Has nothing to do with the product or the franchises opinion of it. I hope the reporting is great. I have no problem with the continuation of a 7 day paper. I choose to get my news online where it is up to the minute.
