Yeah, I finally dug up an old post of his on a different tennis forum, and that's the right name. Glad someone else remembers! I'll post the podcast episode when it's out in a few days. He was in love with Zuzana.
With Roland Garros just around the corner, get ready for our Survivors' Pool, You Can't Win Jack and Predictions contests.
For our SP players, remember: just the LAST NAME of the player, unless two players with the same last name play on the same day.

That may be the thing I remember most about Ben! That and 20 question contests.

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
Craig mentioned Zuzana in the interview and his eyes lit up. It will be on Youtube sometime soon, I think. Thanks!
I didn't do the 20 Questions! Sorry I missed it.

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
Not sure the journalists are to blame here but I really hate the way Tennis shows me last year's stories immediately after this year's ...without looking at the date, I was reading how Zverev best Djokovic at WTL, till I realised it was a Dec 22 story.

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
Another actually-good-journalism post - Craig Shapiro launched a newsletter this week. Free and not too long. https://shaptennispod.com/pages/newsletter
I edited it, but he didn't take all my suggestions. Don't blame me.

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
I notice that a number of journalists and at least one photographer have asked tennis fans not to share and/or interact with tennis "news outlets" that blatantly just copy work of the (primarily freelance) authors and do not attribute it.
One called out by name, by Mr. Rothenberg , is "a tennis letter"

Re: Great Tennis Journalism 2.0
I saw that from Ben yesterday, too. I didn't realize The Tennis Letter does this. It's not good. It's one thing to use a line and link to the original source. But using a large passage is wrong and potentially illegal. The standard for legal plagiarism is "heart of the matter," but I believe the ethical standard is much lower. I won't read The Tennis Letter anymore, or any source that's doing this. They also don't give credit at the top. They don't say, "So-and-so Source is reporting that..." They repeat the info then link to a source at the end, which doesn't even show up in a lot of cases unless you click "more" to see the whole post. It's wrong.Fastbackss wrote: ↑Sun Jan 07, 2024 2:54 pm I notice that a number of journalists and at least one photographer have asked tennis fans not to share and/or interact with tennis "news outlets" that blatantly just copy work of the (primarily freelance) authors and do not attribute it.

I would like to know what the other accounts are. Does anyone know?

AMA? I am assuming you don't mean the American Medical Association, which was Google'a interpretation.
