Hello and welcome to the fourteenth episode of the Football Media Podcast on the Team of John O'Sheas platform. I'm Jon Mackenzie and, across the course of the new season, I'm going to be bringing you a weekly podcast that seeks to open up the often-murky underworld of the football media. This week, I'm speaking to Richard Whittall – freelance journalist and football writer. In the course of our conversation, we discuss his experiences of working with the North American football media context, long form and analytics writing, and the responsibilities of the media in detoxifying dangerous football environments. If you enjoy this podcast, please share it with your friends, subscribe, rate and review on iTunes in order to help us gain exposure and, if you are a social media person, follow us on Twitter @FootyMediaPod. Next week, we will be speaking to Paul Hyland about literature’s place in the football media, but before that, it's Richard Whittall and life in the North American football media. Enjoy!
It's clear that sports journalism is facing many of the same issues as other facets of the industry: declining ad revenues, job insecurities, and too much content vying for too few eyeballs. It also has some unique challenges. Joining us to unpack the state of sports media are The Athletic's James Mirtle, Morgan Campbell of the Toronto Star, and longtime freelance journalist Richard Whittall.
