Since I announced my intention to take time away from Sports Media Journal to deal with more pressing personal issues, I’ve been itching to get back into the fray.  As we prepare to celebrate our fourth year, now is as good a time as any to return, at least on a limited basis.

I wrote this column when I launched SMJ back in March of 2007 about what I liked and didn’t like about sports media.  As much as there have been some ground breaking changes in the last four years, surprisingly much has stayed the same.  So I thought it would be good for me to take a fresh look at what I feel is the best and worst of how sports is being covered in 2011.  Instead of posting one long column of my likes and dislikes, I’m going to produce individual columns focusing on one aspect of sports media.

Look for them to begin popping up sometime next week.  Thanks!
