Journalist and author Dick Schaap died at the age of 67 on Friday. The obituary on ESPN.com has a sidebar with a list of tributes including 24 hours of programming on ESPN Classic starting at noon on Saturday, December 29th. Also on ESPN, "SportsCenter Special: Legends of Our Time" Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 1 p.m., Sunday's "The Sports Reporters," and the excellent documentary "Dick Schaap, Flashing Before My Eyes" on Monday from 10 p.m. to midnight.


He said in an interview, "I was among the first to cross the line from print journalism to so-called electronic journalism." An excerpt on Billy Crystal and Muhammad Ali from "Flashing Before My Eyes," his autobiography, is online. So is his introduction to "The Best American Sports Writing 2000." In addition to covering sports and politics, Schapp did regular reviews of Broadway shows for ABC's overnight news program, "World News Now." One bio online points out he was the only man who voted for both the Heisman Trophy and the Tony Awards. Real Video of his review from May of revivals of "42st. Street," "Follies" and "Bells are Ringing" is online as is the text of a review of a production of "James Joyce's The Dead."

Washington Post media critic Howard Kurtz points out that at any other time, the collapse of Enron would have received a lot more coverage. "Nightline" is scheduled to take another rare break from war coverage tonight on ABC to focus on Enron. Last spring, "Backout" on "Frontline" had fascinating footage of Enron's high-tech trading floor. They have transcripts online of interviews with Enron executives Kenneth Lay and Jeffrey Skilling (who later resigned). There are also a bunch of enron related links a little ways down under Wednesday at Medianews.org.

Wired News has a story on how KPMG is sending letters to sites that link to them (like I just did) without permission. Their site also still has a late 90s large flash intro. They obviously don't get the internet.
