Too few journalists to “challenge the authorities”

SPORTS WRITERS are “too frightened to challenge the authorities”, according to author and sports journalist David Goldblatt in an exclusive interview with CU Today’s Greg Keane at the 2009 Play the Game conference in Coventry today.

Sports reporting today lacks a “critical edge”, he says, with the number of journalists writing on serious and difficult issues being just too small.
