Admin Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 It's no wonder why the casual people in Atlanta haven't cared about the Hawks. The AJC has apparently not sent any journalists on road games this season until the Pistons game. How the F is that possible? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IheartVolt Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Everyone is always on Cviv's case on the board , but what if its not his doing for poor coverage? He always seems pretty bright on NBA radio IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member cam1218 Posted January 10, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Brilliant planning on the AJC's part. They were hoping that he would have such a miserable time traveling in the bitter cold and snow that he will just be happy staying in Atlanta for the remainder of the season.

Premium Member cam1218 Posted January 10, 2015 Premium Member Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Why would that be a good thing? Because they won't have to pay for another trip. $$$ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUhawksfan Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Unfortunately it's all about the immediate bottom line and I think the AJC is missing that forward thinking. My mom was an editor there for 30 years and honestly they had a slew of issues with management, etc. The best and the brightest always moved on to bigger and better things. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course it would be, I just don't have much faith in the AJC to really invest in their own product. I knew it was bad but I didn't realize this was the first time they sent him on the road. You'd think he would have at least traveled to Charlotte or something. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skimaskway23 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 C-viv aint that bad. He is way better than ledbetter for the falcons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Posted January 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 C-viv aint that bad. He is way better than ledbetter for the falcons C-Viv is far and away the worst the Hawks have had in the last 10 years. He doesn't even seem to like the Hawks. I think someone said he came here to write for the Thrashers (whoever they are) and that he's a hockey guy though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLHawks3 Posted January 10, 2015 Report Share Posted January 10, 2015 Did Michael Cunningham travel on the road when he was a beat writer for the Hawks? He always had nice articles to say about this team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators macdaddy Posted January 12, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 They are in a free fall as are most other papers. Just can't compete with Internet. But they suck hind tit And they have a pretty clueless strategy. Their internet offerings have been crap for years and now their most recent revamp is maybe the worst news site on the internet.

Duff_Man Posted January 12, 2015 Report Share Posted January 12, 2015 The AJC is notoriously cheap. It is less than surprising that they don't want to spend a few grand every week sending a guy to away games. With the thousands of online options, who still reads that mess?
