Let's play a game: Build the staff

Just curious, why hasn't investigative reporter appeared on any of these fantasy lists?

 

Great to have them; might be a luxury many think they can't afford given the parameters.

 

Fantasy sports editing! To make it more realistic, can you add furloughs and cut everyone's salaries like two months in?

 

Now, explain to your baseball writer why he needs to start traveling with the NFL team.

 

Speaking of fantasy, any list is a joke without a fantasy football writer. At least mid-level.

 

There's definitely markets where having an FT outdoors reporter is pivotal. Other markets can live on submissions.

 

What about the bowling coverage?

 

I was kidding. Fantasy columns are best left to designers who know more than is healthy about a given sport.

 

There are a lot of papers where an outdoors writer is necessary. Most use freelancers though... About a decade ago most of the big papers had Olympic writers, now almost none of them do. A full-time golf writer is something that is rarely seen these days unless you're in Florida.

 

On the list of most memorable co-workers, outdoors writers would be disproportianately represented.
