Tigers for life!!! Not Just for Superleague!!!

Re: Journalism in RL : Tue Jan 10, 2023 8:58 am  
Yep! Barring a couple, RL journalists have seriously gone down hill in recent years. A few years ago I created a couple of silly transfer rumours which a couple of RL "journalists" published a few days later, with comments from sources if i remember rightly. I wanted to see if they really were in the know or if they just browsed the transfer speculation sections of forums, alas the point was proven.

Also, I don't like to make disparaging remarks about some ones competency at their own job (when they are almost certainly better than I would ever be at it), but I don't ever read anything by CW anymore, ever since he described himself as an "expert in Rugby League" when many people were correcting him on every article he authored.

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?

Saw an interesting Twitter spat earlier this week, a League Express employee (Callum Walker) being accused of ripping off numerous articles and passing them off as his own.

That clown is the biggest culprit for fake news,complete tool.

My golden rule of RL journalism is...if every player is called a star then the article/magazine is junk.

I like 40/20 magazine. It's well written and engaging.
