Football, Journalism and the curse of God | Deadline
If I remember correctly, it was Walter Benjamin, who described the decay of language. At the beginning of all time language was really powerful: the language of God. At that time, the word created yet the thing.
The Lord God formed, Out of the ground all the beasts of the field and brought them to the man to see what he would call them. And as the man called afa every living creature, afa that it should have been called.
And then, after the Fall, the name separated from the things, never to come with them to match. Since then, the words match the world as too big or too small clothes. afa And condemn humanity to eternal debate, misunderstanding and dispute.
No other industry owes to the curse of God to confuse the languages, so direct its existence as journalism. No wonder journalists are seen by many people as the direct descendants of the serpent.
I thought, as this week circulated the story of 16-year-old student from London. This had posed as a freelance sports writer on Twitter, working for the "Daily Telegraph" and the "Financial Times". The student tweeted especially transfer rumors. As he had twice lucky and was completely right, he was considered one insider. As he flew, he had 25,000 followers afa and his Tweets provided even serious media headlines. (The story can be found here.)
Eventually, in the early 90s, sat the sports writer in a newspaper office in Ticino and was desperate. He had a completely blank page and three hours to the date of printing. He leafed through the "Gazzetta dello Sport" and discovered a small note. The coach of AC Milan had visited a Juniorentournier and said: "The level was neat. Especially a Scotsman named O'Donnor played well. "
Then the sports journalist at the press of human AC Milan called and said: "Assuming that you buy a 16-year-old striker? Would the play in the first team? Or would you park it at a provincial team? For example, when FC Chiasso? "
The sports journalist afa looked at me and said, "You have no heart. afa This story was far more than ethical. She was beautiful. All people were happy about it. She has humiliated the supporters of FC Chiasso given hope. And thanks to her, got some money, a boy from the working-class district of Glasgow. Tell me: Have you achieved with a story the more "?
I had to admit my defeat. For once, the journalism afa had created something instead described imperfect. Sure, the Press would not have been happy. But for that, for a moment, the wind blew the paradise again.

Even more fundamental than Benjamin criticized already Fritz Mauthner everyday language myth: "In the global and almost majestic parlor game of language enjoys it the individual, if he 'thinks' according to the same rules of the game with millions together, for example when he for old riddles the new response" "has learned to repeat, or if the words, Progress upset him freedom regiment legally." development (Critique afa of Language, afa Vol I, p 25). Language is just a resonance chamber, which causes oscillations between brains, but even no 'essence' has for him.
On the line between facts and fiction is many people have rubbed. In the 90s, for example, Tom Kummer with his fictitious Hollywood interviews. Although they were extremely pleasurable to read (legendary: Pamela Anderson on the indoor swing) and for customers such as the magazine of the TA-Media a joy, but sorrow verstolperte as his career. Now he's trying afa a comeback in the world week, so far unsuccessfully, and the magazine must be served by giant hamsters for 20 years (see last "Deadline").
