Anyone know how? Or does anyone know where I can find out how to do it? Our paper has a decent on-line version, but when it comes to sports, we are woefully behind our competitors and it seems like we are often afterthoughts of the entire paper (boo hoo). So, I'm figuring the best way to get...

Our paper turned daily last January with the hope of beating out our already-established competitor in local news coverage. The editorial dept recently stopped running any AP content in the news section and sports is going to be the only section with wire stuff. Our paper's brass is dead set on...

You guys know what Getty Images charges for a sports photos-only subscription?

We're looking to cut costs and limit our wire stories. Our news section has eliminated using AP all together and the paper's brass is looking for a sports-only wire service that covers sports as well as the AP. Does AP offer something like that or does anyone know how we can get what we're...

No-**** link to a recent game report (not column) by our "competitor." http://www.times-standard.com/sports/ci_5406962 And there were many, many others like it. Think it's calmed down since there were a few nasty remarks about that style, but those stories exist and we get to read them and...

Wow. All these critical thinking, cutting-edge sports writers and noone can come up with a case or method that might make it OK to use "I" in a game report. Why, again are newspapers in trouble? The ones prospering are Web sites that are chock-full of columns about newsworthy items. Hey...

I can see the flames growing in your journalistically pure eyes. And they're hot, I know. But before you send me the worst virus ever created, give me a few sentences. Our paper does not use "I" in game reports, but our competitor does. The way their staff goes about it makes them look arrogant...

i've heard rumors that UFC could begin to grace the sports pages daily, a la boxing. I'm a little mixed on the idea, but I can why papers and TV stations would want to cover the SPORT <-? If UFC came to my town, I'd jump at the chance to check it out, and I'm sure our readers would love to see...

The darts and bowling league feature probably takes the cake, but I recently covered a tri-meet wrestling event. At the ultra-competitive event, tens of 112-pound backup varsity boys wrestlers from the local, rural area competed in a match where noone kept score because the "tri-meet" didn't...

especially if you're on a beat, I think it gets easier once you do ask a few tough questions because your source gets to expect that from you. He's probably not going to get the tough questions from your competitor, at least if you're in a small market like me, and I feel like they actually...

I think it does only apply to writers with little or no experience at small papers, particularly ones where there are no professional or big-time sports. Hey, if you don't have experience with what you're writing about, why should I listen to you? I don't know how many big dailies would hire a...

A columnist should write about subjects with which he has experience. If an SE from Tinytown, CA has past experience covering the 49ers, then by all means write about issues pertaining to the NFL. Give me your opinion on Pacman Jones and how you have or haven't seen that in your experience. Hey...

Some of the play-by-play, matchup stuff that I really can't get over. I mean, I'll watch College Gameday or NBA Tonight to get the insider details on a team, not a local guy who has never covered the NBA, or worse yet, NASCAR. Right now, the only wiggle room I can see to give these guys is when...

Just wondering what you think about local writers devoting endless columns to professional sports? We work in a town that doesn't have a professional team withing 200 miles and our staff has limited experience covering sports beyond the Division-II level, yet we're still allowed, encouraged...
