Dudley and Bob
Journalistic Integrity Tournament
Welcome to another exciting version of Dudley & Bob + Matt's April Madness Brackets!
Feb. 03, 2017
THE BRACKET | CONTESTANTS | 2015 RESULTS
What is the Journalistic Integrity Tournament?
Several years ago we asked to interview a reporter who had just moved to Austin. The news director of that station wrote us back a polite letter declining our invitation. He explained that they do not hire reporters, anchors, weather personalities etc. based off looks but only Journalistic Integrity. Over the years we have noticed this to be absolutely true!
Turn on your television at 5, 6 or 10 and take in all the long legged, blonde haired journalistic integrity. We are not saying television news is a completely superficial industry (from sweeps sensationalism, to the faux puke voices and even the awkward small talk) we are just saying journalistic integrity is far from a priority.
Here at the Dudley and Bob with Matt Show we want to revert back to the old days and once again make journalistic integrity important. We've put together a list of the most honorable journalists in Austin (nominated by you) and decided to pair them up, head to head, in another April Madness bracket.
Thankfully, all of our friends in news know this is all in good fun. Do them and us a favor and give your favorites some love on social media!
Listen live every morning at 8:20am as we debate and decide!
