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.

Um...you said it twice in your first post

quote:

Absolutely nothing to do with who they think is better

and then another

quote:
the "relationship" you speak of is one paying the other $$$ so it can say it is the official paper. Will have zero effect on the writing staff or quality of reporting.

and then another

quote:
Do you think that Crystal is on there because the team took a vote? Negative sir. They paid to have that "official" status.

This last one implied that people in this thread think Benson picked the "better" paper. No one here is some naive rube, we know Benson picked the more advantageous paper. Before your first post the only comments made about quality were by me and corndeaux, and both statements very clearly alluded to the HOPE that increased COMPETITION would be the catalyst for improving journalistic quality, not that any high level of journalistic quality was currently present in either organization.

Print dying is obviously some topic near and dear to your heart and has you tilting at windmills because you're arguing about things that haven't really been said.
