Buy/Sell: Locke should not be reporting player's tweets.
- Thread starter Hanmudog
- Start date
The deal is these guys shouldnt be allowed to tweet or facebook period. It is obvious they are an abortion when it comes to them and social networks and social skills.
When put on a public forum like Twitter/Facebook/Myspace, etc. They need to be smarter about what they post, and/or have bettertrainingon dealing with the media/public.
Locke is a journalist and his job is to convey a non biased story about our athletics. The story here is Ravern mouthing off through twitter. People don't realize Locke is trying not to be a MSU fan, but instead a journalist.
Burry should ban twitter, that's the point here!

He claimed there was a story in it.
Locke - "Inner turmoil is very relevant and newsworthy. It kind of affects on=court product."
To which I responded - "the news value is you think it's sensational and will sell papers. Twitter and this team is old news."
And - "he real story is the coaches failure to manage the turmoil. Or final four team had turmoil."
So i have yet to read his article but let me guess:
Raverns tweets
deleted account
but here they are!!!!
This happened before!!!
Team has not lived u to expectations!!!
Boo twitter!!!
Is that about right? With a possible mention of other "distractions"

If a reporter over hears a player ripping into a coach, or a coach ripping into a player a good reporter details that in his article.
The fact that Ravern took to Twitter to announce his displeasure was stupid on his part, but if Locke doesn't report it he is simply a mouth piece for the basketball team.
Its news, plain and simple a good journalist reports the news, he doesn't ignore it.

you report it. This is an "information now" world. There are different avenues you can use to use in a story. I don't see a problem with Twitter being one of them.
My earlier guess as to what the story would be:

Here's the story from the blog that I just read for the first time:

What the hell is this Twitter 2?
Yellow journalism or the yellow press is a type of journalism
that presents<span style="font-weight: bold;"> little well-researched news</span> and instead
uses eye-catching headlines to sell more newspapers. Techniques may
include exaggerations of news events, <span style="font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">scandal-mongering</span>, or sensationalism.

Locke claims that turmoil is relevant because it affects the product on the court. The inner turmoil didn't have an effect on the team during our victory over Florida. WHAT CHANGED? We lost. Now there is turmoil.
But wait didn't the turmoil affect the product on the court?
No turmoil sells papers.

And I've read alot of dumb **** on here.
If a player tweets something, it's as good as a freaking quote man.

Where did I say I had a problem with anyone using twitter as a source for quotes?
I didn't know holding journalists to a higher standard than writing stories about twitter made you an *******. I want more to read about in the newspaper than the tweet I read the night before, a rehashing of the the suspensions and fights that used up all their mileage before SEC play started.
Twitter is doing fine. It's the newspapers that are getting thinner and thinner.

If he hadn't reported on it, he'd have been criticized. The beat writers get killed around here. Good grief. Is he supposed to ignore it? If anything, stories like this will help turn the tide on firing Stansbury so I'm all for it. The team is dysfunctional. Any story that corroborates that obvious fact is good journalism and good for MSU in the long run.
journalists to earn their stripes the old fashioned way. they gotta beat the bushes, walk up hill both ways to do an interview, cover all of their bases, etc. they should do this with all stories and never, ever write a simple report after one of the 30 or so basketball games they cover on extremely easy to get information and then later follow up with the full and completely researched story if deserving.
I have been dragged kicking and screaming into this information age. My cell is a straight talk $45 a month text and talk cheap none picture taking flip phone. I barely have owned a laptop the last couple years. I say if I he tweeted it then he said it and report it. Sell!
6pm news. And then listen to the news crew talk about what a problem MS State has with their bball team. Embarrassing. Again!! And Stans banned the players from using Twitter. Really?? That's all?? So over the drama...
sounds like cps36 has never takena broadcast journalism/newswriting class in his/her life. leave the decisions to the people who get paid to make them, dude.
EDIT: now that i think about it, i remember locke retweeting some guy's reply last night. "...then i will not be buying that paper." i was thinking, what a huge doucher. must've been cps36

A journalist correcting a players grammar and saying he deleted his account but oh well it'll still be in the paper is pretty tacky. A professional journalist would report it and shut the 17 up.
Sports by Brooks put an article up featuring your Twitter exchange with Locke.
