Media -- Dont Quote Me

Blowing up

By ADAM REILLY | December 12, 2008

But remember: the new, improved weei.com is less than a year old. Note, too, that back in August, the Globe hired then-Herald sports columnist Tony Massarotti as “the face and voice of boston.com sports” — a move that looked both like a response to weei.com’s recent changes and a grudging validation of weei.com’s wisdom. Weei.com isn’t New England’s go-to online source for sports news yet. But that doesn’t mean it won’t happen.

DISCLAIMER Weei.com is a commercial partner of the mobile-technology company G8wave, which, like the Phoenix, is owned by the Phoenix Media/Communications Group.
