Maybe Mark Cuban really sees the issues facing journalism. What he’s missing is the solution.
The maverick Mavericks owner decided to revoke credentials to two Dallas-based ESPN reporters for the season. He initially declined to explain himself, claiming they still could buy tickets to the game. SB Nation and others reported Cuban was upset ESPN pulled Tim MacMahon away from beat reporting in favor of broader NBA coverage. The only takeaway could be that Cuban had been spoiled by a decade of success that included heavy beat coverage, even from ESPN, which for the most part only has beat reporters in larger NBA markets.
