The area is lucky to have the coverage we do for high school sports. The Times Tribune does an excellent job and The News Journal has it's attributes as well, although it is not as interesting to me as it was 3-4 years ago. Now I do think that Trent Knuckles does a very good job for The News Journal with their local news stories.

Hey look at it this way....If Jim McCalister is doing such a bad job, then they may be looking for a replacement. I am sure that Les would agree with this point, in that it may be tougher than it looks to run a sports section by yourself. You can only be one place at a time. Jim is limited in his resources and I am sure that anyone who would want to submit articles about their team I am sure that he would review it possibly put it in the paper and it would lighten his workload and he could cover more teams in person. I think they are called striinger and get paid about fifteen to twenty dollars a story.

 

It is awfully easy to see someone elses shortcoming but why not just try and do his job for a while and you may see that it tough. It takes time and dedication to get all that stuff in the paper.

 

Hey both local papers are both only 50 cents with a limited advertising base and you basicly get what you pay for, (no offense intended) only saying that their resources are limited and they do pretty well for what they have.

 

 

 

I agree Apex.
