ruggerid Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I don't know if this is new news, old news, or no news, but on Post Online right now: McLean, Va.: Mr. Maske. After the Super Bowl, are you going to Honolulu for the Pro Bowl, or back to D.C. to cover Gibbs' Assistant Coach press conference? Mark Maske: No Hawaii for me, although I encourage you to contact Post editors and let them know how important you think Pro Bowl coverage is to the readers. I'll go home and settle into NFL coverage. I'm no longer on the Redskins beat. We juggled things around a few days after the Gibbs hiring, and I'll spend most of my time covering the league from now on, although we are going to launch a few new things in the next few months and I think I'll end up being at Redskins Park one or two days a week next season and playing some role in our Redskins coverage. But I'm not one of the main guys any more, so I don't think you'll see me at any assistant coaches press conference. - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zen-like Todd Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I didn't know it was official, but all of the recent Redskins articles have been from Nunyo Demasio, who doesnt seem to be quite as talented as Maske. I was hoping Maske was just on vacation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TD_washingtonredskins Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Looks like Maske at least got a promotion. However, as a writer, I'd prefer the Skins beat over the NFL beat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Nunyo gets a promotion too. He was the "web" reporter. If he's the official beat reporter that's quite a prize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nunyo is pretty good and looks like he's beginning to grow into the job. He first reported the possibility of Darrell Green joining the coaching staff and when several media outlets (and some people here too) dimissed it out of hand, we found out that they were having talks.

thinker Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 As I recall, the WP never keeps the same person on the Skins beat for more than 2-3 years. Career track issues and getting stale reporting on the same stories over a long time seem to be the issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Art Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Guys, this is not a step in the right direction. When you're a sports writer at the Washington Post, the best job there is is beat reporter for the Redskins. At other papers in other cities NFL reporter is a bigger deal. Not in D.C. However, Maske will eventually replace Wilbon or Kornheiser as a columnist should he stay at the Post for a few more years as that's the next step up on the path he's taking. And columnist is a better job . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor The Invincible Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Reporters constantly change beats. It's a given that you'll spend a few months covering this, then spend a few months covering that. I don't know why they do it, but editors like to switch people around constantly. I agree that Nunyo doesn't seem to be quite as talented as Maske was at writing, but he gets the job done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
@DCGoldPants Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 and automatically this new guy from the Post has about 10X more access to real info over the Times. How sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RySkins Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Maske has to be stepping up, because he's as good as anyone in the business at beat writing and I know the editors at the Post feel the same way. Nunyo is nowhere near the writer that Maske is. As someone who is going to school to become exactly what Nunyo and Maske are, Maske is someone I look up to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
