Time for some serious reading
It's an article from Le Anne Schreiber, the Ombudsman at ESPN. Unlike her predecessor in that position, Schreiber's pieces on The Worldwide Leader have some real bite to them. This one probably has the most.
I won't go into too much depth on it here, because Schreiber makes her case so eloquently on her own. I'll just leave it at this: I wholeheartedly agree with her. And I think a lot of my fellow journalists feel the same way. I just wanted you, the reader, to know that when you rail against "the media," not all of us think or act the same way. It's just that, with a monolith like ESPN out there, the rest of us often get swallowed up in the shadows.
Without further ado, here's the link.
