Another SHOT Show has come and gone. Â Even though we still have articles, photos and information to post from the show, I thought it might be interesting to post some of my observations of the media and media-related activities from the show that don’t fit neatly into any of the existing or coming articles. Â This observation article is about the online or internet media (sometimes still called new media.)
Some New/Online Media Personalities Are Classless
Let’s start by pointing the harsh lens of reality at my contemporaries who exhibit poor qualities. Â Most folks in the outdoor & shooting media are easy to work with. Â However, like any group of people, there are always a few who stand out due to their lack of professionalism, arrogance or whining. Â Unfortunately, the online shooting media has a few of these. Â I can probably lump most of them into the categories of ‘gear whores’ and ‘douchebags.’
