Serious answer for future reference: this info is probably more easily found on www.nflmedia.com than on a team site targeted toward fans. (It's right up top on the NFC CG info sheet, and should also be on the Eagles' weekly release.)

If you don't already have an account there, get one.

I'll bite. And call me an asshole if you wish.
But, seriously, you are a reporter?
It is posts like these, where reporters can't even be resourceful enough to find out who the media contact is, that scares the hell out of me in terms of the direction in which journalism is headed.

Again, call me an asshole, but I would be totally ashamed to make a post asking who a media contact is.

Asshole.
 
C'mon, notepad. Let's have some perspective, please. There have always been reporters who were too lazy and/or naive and/or stupid to know how to do legwork.

I'm thinking of the scene in ATPM when Woodward is struggling to learn about Charles Colson's background. "The most powerful man in the country is President Nixon. You've heard of him?"

This **** is not new.

It's lazy. But it's not new. And it doesn't say anything about the "direction in which journalism is headed."
 
I got to admit. People that ask these are likely good people with great intentions and in a hurry.

But I certainly could have understood it a lot more in 1976 then I understand it now, although that's the paradox: Because the very tool that allows them to post requests like this in the first place is the same one that makes it really easy to find this stuff.

I agree with every word of that.
 
notepad:

yes, i am a reporter.

yeah, i haven't done a lot of work with the nfl before. you got me.

yes, you are an asshole.

i didn't know about googling for "nfl media" before. now, i do.

i went to my professional colleagues for a quick question. what's the difference between that and asking the reporter across the desk from you for advice? have you ever done that? for anything?

would you be a prick to the guy sitting across from you? call him lazy?

before i posted here, i checked the web, obviously using the wrong search terms. i even sent an e-mail on the eagles' fan site. after i posted here, i continued to look online. when you're getting acquainted with something new, it helps to use all your resources. SportsJournalists.com is one.

and if the consequence of using it is having another poster question my worth as a reporter, so be it. the job will get done. my knowledge base improves. and i'm better for it.

thanks again to hustle and to pseudo for the quick help.

Good luck getting one.

You do realize that the Eagles media guide is on their site as a PDF (as are most teams' guides, in all major sports)? What exactly did you search for?

i searched for "eagles media relations" and didn't have much luck. then i cruised around www.philadelphiaeagles.com looking for a directory. the acrobat media guide on the site doesn't list a section for media contacts.

Took me all of 30 seconds.

I'm with the folks now that think you're not that good.

Bud, that doesn't give contact info.

Anyway, he got the info, even if he was misguided in finding it (not a knock on you, Hustle, just too many folks starting threads looking for this kind of stuff without the knowledge/cajones/contacts to find it themselves). Perhaps we should make a "running media relations contact info thread" for the rest of 'em that will come.

Really? They let me in, so I figured their standards were probably pretty low.

Some of the team media sites, on the other hand ...

Add: after posting this response, I added another account over there, this time using contact info from the paper instead of the fansite my original account is listed under. No problems to report.
