The pile of garbage written by Bogdanich won an APSE award for "investigative journalism"
Should have been under "fiction".

NY Times article wins APSE award
- Thread starter montconole
- Start date
The NYT story was a prime example of yellow journalism. How can you be an investigative reporter when your story intentionally omits documented facts that would dramatically alter your conclusions? Character assassination promoted by a false accuser seeking to extort. What a waste of newsprint and ink!
Who can write an article about how bs that is? Any AP writers on our side?

Someone has already hit up their twitter with the Real Clear Sports rebuttal article.

Yeah, this is one of the challenges with journalism contests ... especially for categories like this.
I've actually been a judge in the APSE contest before, and you don't have any context other than the entries you're given. So you have to assume that the stories you're given are accurate. Unless the judges have really been following this case, they wouldn't know that the NY Times stories were extremely one-sided.
It's unfortunate, but I'm not surprised. It will probably win other awards as well.

That is really bad. And what makes it worse is that 90% of the other bad articles and press used that NY Times article as a source and it just went and went.
This. Seems like all news is trending like this. Huge amounts of political bias and hard to decipher what's factual and what's opinion, due to lots of spinning of headlines and opinions presented as facts

Ira, do any associations care anymore about discovering facts anymore?
It seems like the written press is full of guys that couldn't cut it as a novelist.

Have these asses not learned from the Duke scandal, or the Rolling Stone fabrication, or the Winston/ FSU fabrication. These narratives are conclusions in search of a cause. Have you ever noticed that these writers love pointing a finger at anyone but themselves, the lack of any kind of accountability of the Rolling Stone staff, founder, editor, or reporter is laughable. When these story tellers ( Liars ) are criticized they have the thinnest skin possible. All the lies not fit to print. You're messing with peoples lives, before we destroy them, it seems to me, we ought to make damn sure the story is factual.
Real journalism is dead and the journalists should be ashamed of themselves.

I don't think it's really a new thing. The difference is we have the resources to verify what is accurate and what is not, which we used to not have.
Well perhaps someone should do an expose on the flood of yellow journalism attached the Winston saga. I know a few have already written about it, but these are not nearly as juicy as star black athletes and tall blonde while girls.
