Jeff Di Veronica, who has covered sports in Rochester for nearly two decades, joins Brian this week.
Jeff talks about the challenges that covering high-school sports present reporters. How do you balance accurately reporting what happens in a game with being sensitive to the fact that you’re covering high school kids? How do you critically cover the behavior of some parents when they make up your core audience? How has the job over his nearly two decades in Rochester?
Jeff also discusses how some parents have “email muscles” with both reporters and coaches, and what makes Rochester such a unique sports market.
