LarryBrownsFan Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 As I was reading another thread about a USA Today article, it occurred to me that everything the author of the article wrote could be found on Redskins.com TV. That sparked a few more thoughts. 1) I wonder if part of the Redskins overall marketing strategy includes educating the media to our point of view by making such a great (and easy to access) resource available to them via the web. To the readers who don't go to Redskins.com, the authors will look like they've done alot of research. I think that actually seeing the interviews (at their convenience btw) will help them to write more interesting articles, which is what they're being paid for. Redskins.com will make them look good. 2) And I wonder if, over time, this strategy will make the Redskins even more popular nationally, by generating more positive national Redskins coverage. i.e. will the supposed strategy work?

RedskinsSuperBowl21 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Redskins.com TV seems to be starting a trend around the league...as fans we are lucky that we have so much access to our favorite team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OVCChairman Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 that's because the media isnt trained in positive talk about the Skins. All they know how to do is bash, so when its time for them to say something good, they cant make it original Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heavy Jumbo Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Redskins.comTV is the best thing to happen to this org. since Gibbs came back. Now, Skins.com actually has something imformative to offer us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor The Invincible Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I hear the media eats babies. No, really. They're not out to bash bash bash. They report on the good things as well as the bad. It's not their fault a lot of what the Redskins do looks bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bubba9497 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 It's not their fault a lot of what the Redskins do looks bad. looks bad? or made to look bad? opinions can easily be swayed by the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 If you think about it, you can find all the Redskins information, no matter where you are in the world, just by coming to redskins.com. Helps to build a worldwide fanbase when you can keep up with what is happening, even if its not on the news. Frankly, if I want to hear something Portis said, or I want to see highlights of the last game, wheres the quickest way to find it?

Skeletor The Invincible Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 Attacking the media is sort of like attacking referees. In both cases, it doesn't really matter. Refs call it like they see it. So do columnists. If something looks bad to them, they'll call a foul. If columnists see something that looks bad to them, they'll write about it. It's their opinions. They have a right to them. Sometimes they're wrong. Most of the time they won't admit it. But that's the name of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckeyeG Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 it also helps keep some reports honest Ah....and i believe that is one of the many reasons it was created. Now maybe guys like Len should tune in more to get thier facts strait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AzSkinsFan63 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 They report on the good things as well as the bad. It's not their fault a lot of what the Redskins do looks bad. Hmmm Snyder and Norv was an accident waiting to happen..somewhat deserved. but it's gone on way too far for way too long now..Gibbs did not deserve this period! Skins made the playoffs last season with a long winning streak to boot. Now it's obvious that it's personal with them so..I'm not gonna take it from these wannabe's. Only a weatherman can be as wrong as most of them and still keep a job. Especially the ones who are so blatantly biased in their thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FS36 Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I believe that was the whole point behind creating Redskins.com TV and acquiring this board: To give fans news straight from the source and not from mediots who would sway it enough that it sounded bad or almost even became false. And I couldn't be happier that it's the case. I don't know about everyone else, but I'd rather hear what it is rather than what Jabba the hut thinks it is.

Dallsux Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 it also helps keep some reports honest It also helps prevent against writers using themselves as an "unnamed source" to scoop a story or start a contraversy that isn't really there!

The Animal Trainer Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 I'll tell you what else it does....piss ESPN and SI off. Just like NFL network has taken a piece of their pie, Danny's media savy is taking coin out of their pocket. Every time we go straight to the source for more reliable, higher quality information we are pissing on ESPN and SI and the Washington Post's sports section. You think they like owners getting involved in the information bussiness? Heck no. Danny might put them out of bussiness one day, far down the road. The Redskins have a monopoly on Redskins information, they can chose to give the scoops to this board, or Redskins.com, or Red Zebra owned radio stations. I say more power to him. If he's a better bussinessman, which at this point, when it comes to quality Redskins information, he is, then he deserves every penny he makes. I think this might be the root of Lenny P and Peter King's hatred for all things Snyder. They think he's taking food off their plate. I say its capitalism...either make a better product, or quit your whining and let the big dog eat. I'll gladly get my news from Redskins.com. I have always liked Washington Post however, and I believe they are a quality paper that provides unbiased columnists and local appeal. SI, Peter King, and Pastabelly can kiss my sweet ass...Redskins.com is providing better, higher quality information. Mr. Snyder knows bussiness, and all they can do is cry about it.

bulldog Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 All established (former print only) media is running scared. With all the internet resources out there, Redskins fans find out who the team signs, who is cut, who the team is interested in trading for way before anything is posted to the Washington Post or Washington Times websites. As for the print editions, forget it. This is only exacerbated in DC because the Post has felt it has owned news in the city for years. So, they feel this trend more and more as a threat than others. As for the national media, what the message boards and official websites have done is show Len Pasquarelli and Peter King to be the prejudiced fools that they in fact oftentimes are when reporting about a team like the Redskins where they get the facts wrong and interpret the news in a negative way because Dan Snyder didn't offer Lenny a Cohiba at the last Super Bowl party :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
