    What is your web plan? Will you shoot video? Need to hit all platforms.

    Coincidentally, the NYT ran a story today about a horrible HS football team in Pennsylvania. It was pretty boring and I'm not sure why it got so much space, but maybe it will give you some ideas about how to report your piece.

    Actually, thinking a bit more about your conundrum... maybe your story should focus on the coach. See if your boss would take that story instead of the girl kicker angle. Just an idea.

    I'll shoot my own video. Flip video cameras rule. We will post the story and a video interview of the coach and player online. No need to worry about that.
