Part 5/7:
As the conversation progressed, Heyman acknowledged the significant evolution of sports journalism over the years, particularly with the rise of the internet and social media. The immediacy of news and the pressure to be the first to report has dramatically changed the landscape.
Despite these challenges, Heyman emphasized the importance of accuracy over speed in reporting, reminding listeners that even seasoned reporters can't "bat a thousand." He shared vivid anecdotes from his earlier reporting days, including breaking the news about significant player signings before the internet era, which often hinged on waiting for newspapers to hit stands.
