GrahamC Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 I don’t think he is terrible but the way the media world works these days he rarely breaks any real news and obviously has very little appreciation of anything City related that is over a couple of years old. However when he is compared to the click bait nonsense written by what seem to be a collection of journalism students in that paper he seems like Brian Glanville..

Davefevs Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 It’s a tough gig reporting on Bristol City, I think he had a tough baptism and has got better and better. He does have to get clicks so has to be a bit liberal with the truth at times. Inbound players are always gonna want to be kept secret in fear of alerting other clubs, assuming Agents or Barry Fry-types don’t spill the beans.

Lord Northski Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 Would agree that he can over do the click bait stuff. That being said I never buy the paper, so perhaps it’s a bit rich for me to complain about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

P'head Red Posted July 1, 2018 Report Share Posted July 1, 2018 I think it's more to do with the platform he's working for, the clickbait is what the post rely on to make money, it's how they work now.

He could be the best journalist in the world but if he's under orders to get the clicks up by exaggerating and sensationalising then what can he do?

Unfortunately I think their success is partly judged on how many clicks the site gets.. just the model the paper uses now given advertising revenue so unfortunately he is forced to do it really otherwise he might not keep his job. I remember Stockhausen used to hate it but knew he had to. Falling paper sales have led to this model becoming necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wish it would/could take the stance and reel it back and become a newspaper once again instead of a magazine full of mush content. It’s like daytime tv for the newspaper world. I’m sure it’s lost loads of readers/web surfers because of its style with its ‘you’ll never guess what’ type articles. No I don’t want to guess, I just want to read. It doesn’t have to be a great literacy article, just interesting, informative and written without spelling mistakes might be a start. But i guess it’s like our high street shops, print is dying a death and the online equilivent is very different. Can’t blame the reporters to having to write in a style to bring in the revenue, but I just wish there was another way. I’m sure there are some really good people who are cringing about what they are being asked to do. @Tristan Cork seems a good bloke, and GergMacGreg has done something to improve himself within his job.

Exactly. I never bother clicking on Post links if I can help it because of the intrusive ads, slow page loading times and pop ups. Makes it very irritating to read. I imagine lots of people agree with this so there must be a better way. Sad to see them resort to this really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone sooner or later usually does everyone a service and posts the relevant article on here and not just the link. I usually wait for that. Totally defeats the papers click bait intention but needs must as it’s an awful site and I won’t visit unless I really have to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
