I saw the reporter for the Globe work this story on Wednesday. He apparently had the full support of the track PR director who brought several groups of people to a picnic table where the reporter had set up shop. I was curious so I sat nearby and eavesdropped. (He is not the subject of my article.)
They are interesting little tidbits but overall I find the article too fluffy and mostly a PR piece for the track. For all the interviewing he did I am surprised how few direct quotes he used.
He appeared at the track in jeans and a t-shirt, a little unkempt I thought. But he had a very nice interviewing style -- there was a certain calm about him and he chatted with the subjects. I could see him express his own opinions on occasion.
I like the lead, hate the title -- too trite.
