The media are only as liberal as the conservative businesses that own them.
Ah ha.....those damned capitalists. #policelivesmatter #sharptontheracebaiter #dontbreakthelawandyouwontgethurt
Hell, they barely print the results of any Tech game, no matter who else is playing that particular weekend.

Hahaha it depends which channel I have on.
You got me, fella.
Unless his name is Radi Nabulsi. Guy is dwag all the way.
). Think about it as if he was reporting on the medical and academic situation of a high school team? Students are just a bit more rightly "off limits" than professionals even if they are also "celebrities" to a certain degree.
I would actually pay the ajc if it had unbiased gt info ANYWHERE on the sight. Keep the uga gets a pass ( coaches just wave the yoda mind trick and the new class will take them to a national championship) but add some info about gt.I don't think Suguira does a bad job at all. However, he does seem to really fixate on roster updates, especially about injuries every week.
I kind of suspect that it is that aspect of being a "serious journalist" which says you need to be "investigative" and find out something and tell your readers about it before anyone else does. (Which I actually do think is the best aspect of journalism when done well), The problem with being nosy or investigative around a college sports team you are focused on covering is 1) these kind of run-ins with the head honcho can occur if you tread on toes too much or skirt protocols they want to enforce. 2) You will be talking about people who are technically adults but are still in a place (a college) where those with authority over them have legal responsibilities to protect aspects of their privacy . . . that is, they are not paid professionals (at least at Tech
Whatever the reason Suguira favors seeking out this kind of info may be I think that it does treads on rules about protecting students medical or academic info. It honestly never seems nearly as captivating or interesting to learn about to me as when he interviews position coaches or players. He may not want to write too many of what he considers "fluff" pieces about the background stories of this or that player like you will get a lot of on Ramblin Wreck.com from a staff reporter like Winklejohn. But, "human interest" type stories would definitely be eaten up by Tech fans likely to read his articles and blog posts.
For example, I would love to see him use the access he has to produce a series of profiles and kind of reviews of the impact of this or that coach on the season Tech has had. Like, one day look at getting info on what Sisk has meant to the team this year )what changes has he made? Emphasis from the summer and how it changed moving on? some player quotes on how Sisk helped them meet personal goals, other coaches commenting on what the S/C program means to the position group the coach, and so on. He could even get his hard-hitting journalism rocks off by trying to form critical opinions about progress made or not made in his view or in comparison to other programs.
Email Ken and tell him that. Having met him in person on three occasions at my tailgate spot, I can say without a doubt that he is a nice guy, and I think he is very much open to suggestions.I don't think Suguira does a bad job at all. However, he does seem to really fixate on roster updates, especially about injuries every week.
