Nick Taylor and The Worst
This is interesting.
I saw this on a FB post by Nick Taylor talking to an old mate Robert Messenger, a very respected rugby journo, who some of you may know.
I think this is the first time Nick has gone public with why he left The Worst. It explains a lot and what we are up against.
Has anyone who knows Nick spoken to him about his leaving.
I for one was sorry to see him go but good on him sticking to his guns.
Nice piece P&F. You could have mentioned that over here in WA we have the sole media owner having a very public stoush with the owner of the Force, hence even less coverage of rugby than before in The West Australian. About two years ago I was given an inside tip that the order had come from above that Force stories were only to be used when unavoidable, that they were to be cut short and placed as close to the obits as possible. I was then told Force coverage would be cut further because they were not spending enough on advertising. I was more recently told to write a Force story that was completely baseless because the man in charge had heard a "whisper" in Sydney. I refused. And people still ask me why I quit. Watch those in charge throw the weight of 7WM behind the expansion bid for an NRL club in Perth. A certain person in charge thinks the sun shines from the backside of the bloke who Jones rightly described as "the horse guy"
