Responsible journalism, that is why. We live in an era in which everyone wants news for free, and you get what you pay for. The media “outlet” you criticize apparently consists of a husband and wife trying to operate a local news source. I doubt very much that they have the staff or resources to thoroughly investigate exactly who this guy worked for, and when. And google isn’t going to tell then whether he is involved in other sports besides soccer, which is a pretty important fact, and it would be irresponsible reporting to say a child molester is only involved in soccer. And listing clubs this guy worked for based solely on a google search like you did is irresponsible in that there is a high risk of inaccuracy. Moreover, the two employees of this media outlet probably have no idea how club soccer works. Like most people, they may think that youth sports is tied to local schools and they may have no concept of club soccer, let alone which clubs are out there. Plus, the importance of getting the info that there is a child molester in the local youth sports community out to the public asap greatly outweighs waiting unless/until they have identified every detail to your satisfaction and then put it in an article
How much do you pay to support local media? Do you subscribe to the OC Tribune? Why are you upset that two people doing a great public service aren’t doing it good enough when you provide them zero financial support?
The bad guys here are not the two people trying to provide local news. It’s the pedo and also the cheap bastards who trash local news media that they won’t even pay for. If you want better local news, support it.
