Poor Jounalistic Qualities In Boxing Writers

I particularly dislike blatant nutthuggery what are qualities you find distasteful in a boxing journalist? Most of the writers in boxing circles are not qualified journalist.It's made worse by the internet because anyone can write for a website.The problem is boxing is not a mainline sport so very few trained journalists cover it and few commercial news agencies cover the sport.

Thomas Hauser. He is the chairman of the BWAA. His articles are worth reading. Ryan Songalia (who posts here under the name Asian Sensation) is also pretty good, and there are others. Just as a general rule avoid the ones who nuthug (so 99% of bloggers) and anyone from The Examiner----->because they don't examine shit!!!!!!!

Taking a simple sentence and writing a story with rumors. Plus writing false stories, which happpens ALOT And worst of all repeating the same articles day after day even though nothing new has happened To be fair though, the above happens in all facets of journalism. A large percentage of that is caused by the environment news stories are created in. Stories are sold just like any other commodity that, unfortunately, leads to sensationalism in some (most) instances. I'm not so bothered about reading the same story a few times, as long as it is written by different people each time. There isn't anything wrong with a different prerogative. What I don't like is a single journalist recycling a story again and again over time, it's lazy and doesn't do anyone any good. Oli
