Media Bashing

Posted by Teddy Panos, Sun Staff

OK all you media bashers out there. Here’s your chance to tell us what you think of us and how we do our jobs.

Bruce Allen joins us for this Monday night’s edition of SportsTalk. Bruce is a self-described “tech guy” who five years ago created the wildly popular web site Boston Sports Media Watch. The site provides comprehensive links to articles from all of New England’s major newspapers on a daily basis.

But the best part of the site is Allen’s willingness to tackle all aspects of the local media, particularly the way they cover the teams, calling out writers and broadcasters for inconsistencies in their stories and opinions, or in the “agendas” they promote. His no holds bar style has often earned him snide criticism on the WEEI airwaves.

Barry Scanlon of the Lowell Sun also joins in the discussion, and we’ll be having a guest from one of the local television stations with us as well to talk about all aspects of the media and how the added dynamic of the internet is changing the way we gather information about our favorite teams and athletes.

As always, showtime is 7-8pm. The number to participate or listen in is (978)364-TALK (8255). We hope to hear from you Monday night!
