Journalists at press conferences

I'm sure I read that journalists would have names, and that we could get to know certain journalists better and receive more favourable news stories. Every time I have a press conference though, it says 'Name: n/a.' Does anyone know why?

Was wondering about this too. I noticed that when playing a league in Spain the journalists have names and personalities, is there any way of modding the game to have this in English leagues too?

I think its due to licensing reasons, I seem to remember a post from one of the SI people saying they can't even have regen journalists for actual publications.

There's an excellent update for the English league here though, but you have to start a new game for it to take effect.

I think SI weren't able to license most real-life journalists, so they left it to us-the-community to populate the real-life journo names in.

I've already seen one such fan-site update for the U.S. / MLS clubs, so I expect one should be out for the major nations shortly. If not, you might be interested in making such an update.
