Analyzing the Raiders Draft

[yayarea_raider]

After the Raiders selected Darrius Heyward-Bey seventh overall, the Raiders next pick was 40th overall, but they traded seven spots down to grab an additional fourth round pick and sixth round pick, including the Patriots second round pick 47th overall...

I'm not going to critique this write-up in full because it's pointless but I'm going to take this piece, compare it to Chris Carter's rant, and see which one violated more codes of journalistic professionalism and integrity.

Yay's was pro-Raiders

Carter's was Anti-Raiders

I give the nod to Yay for journalistic professionalism.:captnkill:

Chris Carter's rant did not violate any guidelines for television journalism, or journalism in general. Yay's blog violated the following...

- Poor sentence structure (too many words, bad sentences, several redundant words, several words used multiple times in sentences)

- Misspelled words (absolute NO-NO in any kind of journalistic setting... they have editors for a reason)

- Lack of research - Carter did a television rant, which is contained in a certain frame of time. You have no word count, so there's no excuse for a lack of research. Example: With the Raiders final selection they chose tight end Brandon Meyers out of Iowa. Cable has been talking about "marrying" Zach Miller with another blocking tight end to free him up some more. The Raiders got an asset here in the running and passing game here. Why is he an asset? You never talked about his actual blocking skill, so there's no support for your argument.

No journalist with "integrity" or "professionalism" would let this thing hit the web with his name on it. Nothing personal, but when you call out one journalist for a lack of professionalism or integrity, you should watch who you're saying it around, especially when you have NO knowledge of the subject.

dude, I'm still learning. I got plenty to work on, and the more I write I get better. You're right, I don't have an editor and I have had troubles with some sentence structuring. I'm still trying to get rid of those things.

I am not working for ESPN though, not being paid to write or have an editor (yet). BTW, I worked last night on this and tried to get it out before I left this morning.

To add to that, I have seen numerous times while reading article(s) spelling mistakes. I have seen it all over the place. Even editors miss that stuff sometimes.

Good write up Yay. :csa:

Exactly. You're in no place to be issuing callouts. That shit's unprofessional when you're trying to be in the biz. And don't release pieces with bad English. You want to distinguish yourself from everyone else. Read Bill Simmons.

I don't give a fuck what position you think I'm in. I'm going to do what I do and achieve what I have set out to do from the beginning. I'll just use this as more motivation.
