On the road again, and to the wonderful surroundings of Leeds Central Library to talk about the past, present, and hopes for the future of local sports reporting.
Joining us, as part of Leeds Libraries ‘Breaking the News’ exhibition, were:
Professor Tony Collins
Tony Hannan
Peter Smith
Matthew Shaw
Plenty of historical content, changes in the way media is consumed, the effect that has on the output we read, relationships between journalists and clubs, the next generation, and a potential return of the romanticism of the past – that’s just some of the topics covered.
We started though, on a sad note, reflecting on the life of Dave Hadfield, a presence in the press box, and life, will be sorely missed.
