Dollymarie Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 And I've just had it confirmed that it is indeed true. Never nice to lose your job (regardless of what we might have thought of his "journalism") especially just after Christmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRock Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Hope not. Thought he was a decent journalist meself. Certainly adapted well to the new media, 'though I assume a Twitter and the likes ain't as profitable as newsprint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Brent Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 He's been lucky to have held the job for that long (I'm not talking about his incompetence). Don't know if they still have that lad who copies and pastes Twitter all day but that's what passes as journalism these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olé Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Trinity Mirror keen to complete their long term transition to auto-generated national news stories and click bait.

ChippenhamRed Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Got a lot of time for the guy. He's never given me a reason to dislike him, he's always been happy to engage on twitter and never claims to be ITK. Genuine City fan, sad if true.

Engvall's Splinter Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Decent enough chap. Gives the info he's got which is better than anything else I get. Used to do some really decent stuff on the western league back in the day. Seems to to get a raw deal on here for whatever reason. Feel for the guy.

The Journalist Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I'm genuinely a bit saddened by this because its quite likely there'll never again be a 'Bristol City correspondent' across local press, radio or TV. This might not sound a big deal to many fans and people may well mock Andy Stockhausen (even I have done so in the past!), but it's actually really important to have people in his sort of position - Bristol City specialists, in essence - holding our club to account. On a personal level, I hope he's not out of work for long as its not a fun thing to go through. And, contrary to popular belief, he's a decent egg.

I know Stockhausen didn't do a lot of it* but any big city and serious football club needs paid journalists who can hold the club to account and ask the questions the club won't ask of themselves (see: Player). I know there's Radio Bristol but they're (rightly) invested more in coverage than accountability. *there were occasional feature articles reflecting on City's progress against strategy, that he never really got enough credit for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lack of Action Man Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 I think people still buy the big newspapers but the evening post (as I will always refer to it) is on borrowed time I fear. Plus they have what can only be described as the worst news-based website in the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you`re anything like me I just read it until that ******* survey comes up and then leave the site. Don`t they think hundreds of people do the same?

The online platform is a shite experience and the content is being auto generated buzzfeed style. It'll be pared down to a national network of bot generated nonsense interspersed with local bloggers in a year or two and they'll ride it out as long as the ads pay for the servers. It's already dead and has been for some time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stokes7 Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 Seeing some of the tweets on Twitter about him losing his job I find pretty distasteful, doesn't matter what you thought of him to celebrate the fact he's lost his job is wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
