when i was at a weekly a few years ago, people went online to read us and were forced to buy the paper too. at least from the sports perspective. i covered games galore, would write a preliminary, short piece soon as i got home and ended with a cliffhanger of sorts, and wrote, "for the rest of this story, see thursday's edition." i'd usually have rewritten the entire piece.

those who followed me always said the same thing about the web story: "dammit, Songbird, you ended that at the best part! i couldn't stand waiting those 3 days!"

of course, it was a hyper-local weekly but still, we got the web hits and we sold the hard copies.

kudos to the asbury park guy. stick with what you believe and make it happen your way.

That's what all non-dailies should be doing with sports -- quick wrap-up online that night, something completely different when the print edition comes out. Brings eyeballs to the web site (ad views!) and also brings eyeballs to the print edition (more ad views!). I was never able to convince any non-daily publishers of that.
