The Carlos Tevez Affarir: Sensationalism or Journalism?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

A lot has been written about Tevez’s goal celebration after scoring United’s second goal during the Manchester derby. And I’m sure many would share the same opinion as I that some of the reporting were geared more towards sensationalism rather than facts. The writers probably weren’t lying but there were some margins for creative journalism, if you will.

Of course, entertaining your readers is vital in journalism, but to what extent?

Let me point you in the direction of one particular article from the Times Online,

Apparently,

"

"Carlos Tévez raced in the direction of the United manager and David Gill, the club’s chief executive, and cupped his hands to his ears after he had scored United’s second goal in their 2-0 victory over Manchester City…......"

"

I would think that the general train of thought after reading this is that there is a clear rift between the manager and the player.

BUT.

There are always two sides to a story (or picture).

The boss must be so pissed off as "Tevez raced in his direction" and puts this on him!

Or is he really? :D

You be the judge. :)
