I must admit, I woke up this morning looking forward to reading about the Oregon State-Oregon baseball game Friday and was dismayed at the lack of detail in the story provided by the Associated Press. I wasn’t in the office last night when it moved and I don’t know what constraints the AP was working under. Trust me, we have issues that result in us sometimes falling short of the expectations or our readers, so I know how it is. I’m guessing our staff tried to augment the AP story with more from the OSU Web site, but at this writing, it doesn’t have the story linked. The Duck site has a story, as do some papers up north. If you want more on the game, try these:
There’s increasing discussion about content sharing in our industry as staffs and budgets dwindle and it becomes harder to provide traditional coverage for readers. Consider this my part to that end. The good folks at these papers know we will gladly reciprocate when possible.
