Great Tennis Journalism 2.0

Correct on Ben liking Zuzana before he got famous. Think you got her last name correct.

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.

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

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.

It could take a long time to fill out .. but was definitely an interesting contest different than just pick winners contests

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.

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.

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"

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.

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

Ben is doing an AMA on Reddit tomorrow night at 6pm eastern

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