International Man of Mystery
The latest Dirk thread got me thinking - where would we all rank the local sports media? I don't spend a ton of time reading stuff from other teams' beat reporters, but I tend to think I know good journalism and I think we're pretty lucky to have some really good journalists here at Nebraska.
There are several categories to choose from, and tons of sources. Help me remember who all would be in this conversation, and which category they would most likely belong in.
Newspaper
Omaha World-Herald: Sam McKewon, Dirk Chatelain, Jon Nyatawa, Tom Shatel, Lee Barfknecht
Lincoln JournalStar: Steve Sipple, Brian Christopherson, Brian Rosenthal, Brent Wagner
Any other newspapers?
Television
I have no idea who covers sports in the local TV news stations. I never watch local news.
Radio
93.7FM - Gaskins & Stevens, Fiala, Mike Welch & Jake Bockoven
1620AM - Tons of guys here but I don't listen to this station. Help me out. Nick Bahe, John Bishop...
I know there are more stations out there. Does 1480 have local programming or are they only a national syndicate?
John Baylor does the Husker Volleyball games. Kent Pavelka does basketball. Would you count those guys, or would they be in a different category?
Magazines
Hail Varsity: Grant Muessel, Brandon Vogel, Erin Sorensen
Huskers Illustrated:
Web-based
This may be nebulous, but I'm thinking of guys like Husker Mike (Husker Mike's Blasphemy) and/or Dave Feit. Corn Fed Sports, Corn Nation, that kind of thing.
Would/should there be a category for web personalities/entertainment, like Tunnel Walk of Shame or Faux Pelini?
