How is "your" newspaper covering the World Series

How is "your" newspaper -- the one you work or worked for or where you live or lived -- staffing or covering the World Series.

How is the staffing different from the past?

The Los Angeles Times has Bill Shaikin, who I believe is their national baseball writer, and Jorge Castillo, "a sports enterprise reporter, with a focus on baseball," there.

(I lived in Los Angeles for many years, was a Times staff writer, voluntarily left, but for many years write one non-sports story a week for it.)

Sometimes, The Times game stories are from The Associated Press.

The Miami Herald, where I live now, runs wire copy.

What other newspapers outside of the participating teams are staffing The World Series?

Is the World Series still "an industry trade show," where executives and agents are in attendance?

Isn't next week's general managers meeting in Las Vegas a better thing to cover for most newspapers without a participating team?

 

1997 called. It wants its thread question back.

 

Derrick Goold from the Post-Dispatch is there. He goes every year.

 

I have no factual evidence but I would assume far more beat writers are sitting at home than covering the Series.

 

The nearest MLB market to me is Atlanta. I can’t even look at the front page of AJC.com before the page is covered up squawking that I have an ad blocker. It’s like muscling me out of the way if I wanted to peek at the display copy in the rack. So to hell with it.

 

My local paper is playing it up pretty hard. I guess that's what readers of The Houston Chronicle want though.

 

At my old daily it would've been B1 every day, but not necessarily the centerpiece. Cowboys, (maybe) TCU and local preps would've bumped it on weekends.
