Favorite Journalists/Reporters?

[Zelig]

Most of the staff at Ars Technica and Anandtch, they're both top notch. I try to avoid news that isn't tech-related.

Glenn Greenwald

I'm haven't been overly impressed.

In sports journalism, I'm a big fan of Matt Brown of Land Grant Holy Land.

Please bear in mind that Greenwald focuses on constitutional law breaches, and whistle-blowing. Granted, he should be covering his tracks - but he's not a tech guy. He's a law guy. And as such, his reportage during the Obama administration has been stellar.

This likely is off topic here, but I thought that email encryption requires both parties to participate?

I should pay attention to the bylines a little more on the sites I go to, this could take some thought.

As far as television personalities go, I don't mind Anderson Cooper (aka the Silver Fox), Chris Hayes, and Rachel Maddow; I'll watch their shows while treadmilling. I suppose I watch enough DN! to put Amy Goodman on the list. If we are counting bloggers, then Nate Silver and the crew of Wonkblog deserve mention.

Zach Lowe is my fav. sportswriter

agreed

Well played.

Wait a minute...

Is that DT?

 

[hobbsyoyo]

It must be, that's the website he writes for.

 

[Aleksey_aka_al]

Frack... I am late...

Let the record state I did not pay anybody to mention me.

But yeah, that's me. My work can be found here: http://www.sbnation.com/users/Matt Brown

I like Rachel Maddow. She's kind of like Jon Stewart, without the jokes or penis.

 

[Kyriakos]

Well i run a google search for "sexy reporter" and saw this one:



I read on wiki then that she is a CNN host, probably for the mexican version of CNN (?) on some sports programs.

Looks a lot better than Alex Jones. Alex Jones still looks better than Rachel Maddow though (since virtually everyone does).

 

[Kyriakos]

Sorry for the consecutive post, but i just had to post Christina as well



She now works in LA as a reporter for some Greek-centered news agency. We were in the same school for 6 years (highschool) although she was in a different segment (still same age as me).

I wish her well. Always was the prettiest girl in our school

How did you guys get that?.. I'm guessing you already knew.

I knew that DT worked for Land Grant Holy Land from awhile back, and then put things together on the fly when I saw Dachs' post.

Gotta say, though, I don't follow much sports reporting. I just remember from the thread that BR is not the best place to go for it.

Wait, are we judging reporters for their looks? I thought we were identifying reporters for their ability to write and effectively report on events.

No that's BleacherReport which employs amateurs as slave labor to generate maximum clicks per page (ALL THE SLIDESHOWS). sbnation is very hit or miss depending on the individual blog. baseballnation, sbnation, and mccoveychronicles (the baseball, home, and SF Giants) sites, for example, are exceedingly good.

Yes, but currently it seems that they do not say anything of note. So they might as well at least look good

 

[SS-18 ICBM]

Do newscasters on TV write their own reports or do they just speak them?

 

[schlaufuchs]

Well aren't you just adorably sexist.
