Re: Interview with Jason Strasser
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] The interview is pretty poorly written and very poorly edited, but always nice to read Jason's thoughts. [/ QUOTE ] by poorly written you mean poorly presented? Or you mean the questions weren't good? I thought it was pretty good [/ QUOTE ] I feel slightly uncomfortable even posting in HSNL, so I'll make it as short as possible. As the author said, it's a transcript of a chat. That's the laziest form of "journalism" possible. Not only did he not write an article (this is by no means an article), he did not even edit the transcript in a way to make it a better read, i.e., shape the transcript in a coherenet way to allow easy and fluent reading, based on topics. The conversations goes back and forth through topics and he doesn't keep Jason in track (which he doesn't have to do, he just have to edit it so it looks like it). The whole thing could have been much better with a little bit of editing, adding some background paragraphs when changing subjects (for example, when you talk about his wsop experience, you don't add the info about a specific hand inside his supposed answer) and adding a personal point of view. I'm not bashing the OP, as he did put up a transcript of a conversation. I just think poker journalism is very undeveloped and amateurish, and I'm def not talking only about this specific piece.

So the rest of the absent fluff and puff wasn't missed by me. Good read.
