The best thing about club journalism is that players “love” creating content and some are even “obsessed” to get involved with it. Many people due to certain interviews tend to think that footballers do not like the media and do not like creating content, I have the argument that is completely contrary to this, with quotes too from people who work within the industry, with the players, who “just want to get involved”.
Early on in my journey speaking to club journalists I spoke with Shrewsbury Town’s Head of Media, Joe Masi, who displayed an absolute enthusiasm to his job stating that: “it’s just a different world, the players love it.”
“That’s the thing I’ve learnt in this job that the players love creating and engaging in content. Especially younger lads, like today we had the younger ones obsessed with the graphics and want us to work on creating that type of content for them.”
“In the nicest way, there a pain, we’ll be filming training with a photographer and as soon as we’re back in the office they are asking for the pictures and can’t wait to be involved with TikTok’s.”
“And when it’s going like that it’s the best thing because that’s what fans want; to be connected to their football club, so if you can give them a peek behind the curtain and show a bit of the players personality, fans love it.”
