I was a big Dick Young fan as a kid, be...Very nice. I was a big Dick Young fan as a kid, before it all went sour, and I'm sorry that his reputation has gone so far off the rails. He was an important journalist for many years.<br /><br />As for parity (not parody -- ha!), I think the current atmosphere wildly undervalues the guys who actually go and GET the news (not just baseball, but journalism across the board). It's one thing for a reporter to attend a town budget meeting and write it up, but something entirely different for a blogger to link it and paraphrase it five minutes later. In my view, we see that far too much in the blogging world, where folks are chasing "hits" but not really providing meaningful content. That said, other blogs can be very important, in terms of CONTRIBUTING original content to the conversation, because they are more like the role of a traditional columnist: reflective, analytical. <br /><br />But again: I'm really turned off by how many bloggers such link Adam Rubin and parrot his content ten minutes after the fact. <br /><br />Nice job, guys.James Prellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01342728812342563278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-592615130369356022.post-15172587511030666192013-02-12T15:30:00.006-05:002013-02-12T15:30:00.006-05:00Mack really nice post!
