New York Times sports reporting

Yeah, I'll never figure out who shockey is. He's never let on about himself at all.

From the Public Editor. (Also, "only" 20 reporters, lol.)

 

For the Times, that's not so many. We had 20 at the Boston Herald in the late '90s.

 

Right--nearly two decades ago! Not in the business, but I'd imagine the Times must have one of the largest sports staffs in the country these days, even with "only" 20 reporters.

 

Quick byline count of today's Herald site shows 15 names. So I stand by my previous statement.

 

Ah yes, the rare dead thread which has been exhumed not once, not twice, but three times....

 

Read that. Interesting.

Why grand slam tennis gets so exhaustive coverage from NYT is interesting to me. that choice can't be anything but an organizational preference. There's no particular justification for it

 

That's what we need. More theater.

 

For what the NYT does, it's a lot.

 

I rarely see the Times, but the Sports section was better than I expected the last 2-3 times. However, I doubt too many people outside New York go surfing for sports coverage online through the Times.
