The Games Press Episode 14: Rebekah Valentine (Senior Reporter at IGN)
🕑 Added 2023-06-30 14:25:02 +0000 UTCRebekah Valentine is a Senior Reporter at IGN and an instrumental figure in the site's latest ambitions to establish itself as a true home for longform video games reporting. She's also just been on the ground at Summer Games Fest, the potential successor to the games industry's biggest, flashiest trade show, E3.
How do the two shows compare from a reporter's perspective and will E3 ever manage a revival? We'll be asking Rebekah all about it.
"I am now two and a half years in and I'm still doing reporting! I'm kind of blown away by it. I'll freely admit that I sort of had an idea in my head of what IGN is... and it was grounded in the way that IGN had actually been. But especially if you're somebody listening to this and hasn't read IGN in several years, I would really encourage you to dip back in and look at some of the stuff we've been doing the last couple of years, because Tina really did set up a legacy of good journalism and good reporting."

Rebekah is wonderful. Anything she's doing/in/involved, I'll sit down and consume it.

Oh I have potential idea for something positive you could go into long form about. Should I message you?

IGN has not changed one iota. I just went to their site, turned off my ad blocker, and I see ads for Xbox games. The conflict of interest could not be more obvious, nor more egregious.
