Hound I'm guessing funding cuts have made a difference as well
Remember Watts went on a pre-season tour with the players, and reported back on how their training etc was going. No chance that GetReading or whatever would fund that now. That would obvs be the ideal type of environment for a journalist to get some inside info, and maybe a few contacts within the club and players. Do remember him saying something about getting on well with Garath McCleary and Danny Williams - just don't think those opportunities are there now to get to know them

This 100%.
Local papers are mostly no more in the UK. The titles have been absorbed by larger organisations eg Trinity Mirror moved online and where there used to be actual teams of journalists slashed to a few that have to cover wider areas in less time. There’s no budget and wages are shit.
Result? Local provincial journalism is dead.
However you twats just want to slag some blokes off on the internet because you think it makes you look good.

Come on, it is not excusable to not report things because of a lack of wi-fi connection. It is pathetic.

It is excusable when you're reporting from the ground and the 4G is sketchy, at best.
