Blog of the Week 1

Asked to select a 'Favourite Blog of the Week' by my online journalism tutor, I plumped for this one: http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/sporteditors/match_of_the_day/.

It's a blog written by Match of the Day Editor Paul Armstrong and I chose it because "it provides a fascinating insight into the behind-the-scenes goings-on at the country’s most popular football programme, revealing how, why and by whom the big decisions are made." (OK, I had to write that. But I do mean it.) For a budding football journalist, this blog gives me access to information that would have been very difficult to get hold of in the pre-blog age.

This article in particular illustrates exactly how the running order for each show is decided upon, which should provide some form of solace to disgruntled Charlton/Fulham/Wigan/Watford fans who have to wait until the early hours of the morning for a two-minute glimpse of their side's latest capitulation.
