Steroid reporters joining ESPN

I just read this story about a couple of very prominent reporters who have covered steroid sports stories in the recent past joining ESPN. Apparently ESPN is putting together a 15-person enterprise unit that will do investigative stories, and two of the people in that unit will be Mark Fainaru-Wada, who gained fame while with The San Francisco Chronicle for his reporting on baseball's steroid problems, and TJ Quinn, who broke several big steroid-related stories for The New York Post. Also, ESPN said these two will not just do steroid stories, but other investigative stories as well. I think this is another sign of ESPN getting more serious about its journalism. They recently began an investigate reporting show called E:60, and, as I mentioned in an earlier post, they just signed Rick Reilly, who is probably the most renowned sportswriter in the country. ESPN takes a lot of heat for its lack of true reporting, and I think the organization is responding by trying to improve itself with these new developments. I really think these moves will help ESPN and sports journalism as a whole.
