As predictable as clockwork Ruc on AA this morning saying MRP will definitely look at the Tex shepherd. He is pathetic.
Article in the paper today , talks about Rory and getting freed from the tag and then goes on about how Johannisen had to deal with it. Mentions the bump from Walker. Last para is '' So it is Sloane out of the commentary this week, but not Johannisen. Some will try to drag Walker in too.''

Oh the ******* irony

Seriously, is Ruc's boss a family member or something? He's a shocking journo, how the f*** does he keep his job????
Newspaper journalism is a dying profession. The Internet has bought about its demise. We the masses can get everything we want from the net and we can choose what we read. Social media and the like are making journalists seek to be provocative and sensationalist rather than what journalism is meant to be about - check the facts and write the story, not become skewed to your beliefs and opinions.

I love how he goes on about those on the Internet on blogs and social media being the faceless people and can hide behind a keyboard. The unsuspecting reader if they purchase the paper (who does that anymore?) has no choice but read your crap and bullshit.

The Advertiser is still selling those 3 game Port Power memberships plus subscription and a set of steak knives and now we have the journalistic flogs on our tv sprouting about the Advertiser and its values. The Advertiser must be in real trouble in the Adelaide market!

All newspapers are in trouble because people are relying on Facebook or google to show them the latest news and are not interested in going to the newspaper sites directly to read online. It's the companies who are willing to pay FB and google to aggregate their stories into their feeds who will maintain readers. The Murdoch papers, especially, are losing readers and they are not getting them to pay the subscription fees because we can get that news elsewhere now or we know the workarounds so we don't have to pay the subscription fees to access the story. Hence them doing their feel good journalism advertising. Too little too late.

Don't listen to anyone spruiking the NYT subscription model. It brings in a decent amount of money but those subscribers are only about 20% of the actual readers for each month on the NYT site. Newspapers only survived because advertisers were willing to place adverts in their papers. That is what papers really were for, to sell advertisering. Now those same advertisers are paying less to advertise in other online spaces (ie FB) and papers are dying because of that.

Agree with most of this but do you really think facts are checked before going onto social media?

The Advertiser are running a TV promo and they ask Rucci what his best story was, I don't think he saw the irony in his response, it went something like "I'm thinking about the next one". Perhaps he's waiting for a good one.
FTFY.

The Advertiser: "So what's your best story Rooch?"

Rooch: "I'm hoping it's the next one."

I laugh when journo's or people in the media cry foul at "keyboard warriors" on social media. The likes of Rucci, Rowe and now K. Cornes all pot other people and push their petty agendas just like anyone else does, the only difference is that they have a larger platform in the media.
Rucci continually attacked Peter Hurley, Rob Lucas and Gary Metcalf in articles.
Rowe openly attacks the State Labour govt especially Koutsantonis.
Yet both regularly complain about keyboard warriors potting players or spreading rumours.
The mainstream media hate it when the focus is turned back on them, it's a pretty ugly reflection they see in the mirror.

No but the journalism is meant to be about reporting not making up shit!
There's no such thing as "news" anymore. Every news site had a political leaning and pushes agendas. I struggle to find any credible source of "news" these days.

But why? I think the answer lies deeper. Average Joe has lost the ability to think critically and independently, and thus has become fodder for click bait journalism. There's nothing as illustrative of this point than the sheer fact that a news piece these days is called a story. People like stories...

I've always believe newspapers and TV news' services were there to report the news, not to comment, show bias or become the news themselves. That's totally changed. The other day I was reading some articles in the Advertiser, and adjectives were used that showed the article in a very biased light. No objectivity at all. It just confirmed what we already know, though. :(

The media is more tabloid than news source now.

Especially News Ltd.

Could not be any more accurate. People require extreme stories to be engaged and can no longer get their engagement out of analysing an average story. Its only going to get worse.

Great post. The Advertiser has been Womans Day/A Current Affair disguised as a newspaper for a decade now.

Whilst I don't mind footy journalists having and expressing moderate opinions (all part of the fun I say), I just can't bear the standard of TV commentay these days. It is truly awful. They go out of their way to make it all about themselves and their personal likes/dislikes (Cameron Ling and his pro-Geelong, anti-Crows bias is the most insufferable example).

Rucci is just a lazy journo.
Uses quotes from Five Double DerpDerp interviews consistently without any advice as to the "source" of those quotes.
Just so and so said "<blah blah>".

Thought that was a form of plagiarism actually.
