[QUOTE="TechCubed, post: 601418, member: 491"] Here's a new story from today: [URL]https://theathletic.com/1085371/2019/07/22/how-georgia-tech-hoping-this-is-the-start-of-something-big-used-a-weekend-at-the-lake-to-trigger-change/[/URL] I think The Athletic has done a great job in filling the void from what coverage looked like 5-10 years ago. At one time, there were beat writers from Macon and Savannah papers, as well as regular coverage from AP. Plus, the AJC had two beat writers assigned to the school. I think Ken does a good job, but he's one guy and under pressure from bosses to turn around 3-4 pieces a day. That ends ups being a couple of quotes from a press conference with a paragraph or two, offering no real insight. When he has time to write something in-depth, it's good but often few and far between. Here are two pieces that stuck out to me: [URL]https://theathletic.com/814623/2019/02/13/qa-with-georgia-tech-gm-patrick-suddes-building-a-program-and-a-brand/[/URL] [URL]https://theathletic.com/977412/2019/05/14/the-tone-setter-for-georgia-tech-football-lewis-caralla/[/URL] Definitely good, new info in these with interviews that were outside of press conferences. I don't have a high opinion of Rod and Kelly, because I prefer actual reporting and researched pieces. Overall, I think it's good for GT that The Athletic devoted a writer to the program. They could have easily decided we did not have a large enough fan base to justify a writer's salary. [/QUOTE]
