I'm sure this has happened to many of you out there so how did you respond or did you respond when someone from a Web site devoted to a big-name college program posts information from your online story with no credit to the source?

Journalist should forever be removed from this woman's job title.

I don't think I've ever been pleasantly surprised by a radio station's ethics. I guess it could happen.

If they want to mention LeBron's shot as soon as it happens, fine. Cleveland is obviously very interested. And there's nothing wrong with being happy about it on a Cleveland newscast. But the way that guy went nuts was embarrassing. Or should have been.

I get all stats and play by play for each half on one sheet of paper. The left hand side is divided horizontally in the middle with one team on top and the other below. The right hand side is divided vertically for two columns of play by play. I do down, distance and yard line for each play. For...

They certainly appear to know what they want. Good for them. I guess. It does exclude, I expect, many very talented candidates who don't happen to have worked in a minor or major league market who may know baseball extremely well.

Agreed. Disgusting they would actually admit to paying so poorly. And even worse that they actually pay so poorly.

So a couple of you are saying a newspaper doesn't own the photos taken by its photographers? I disagree. Newspapers aren't protesting this because they are getting rich off selling the reprints. Hardly. The point is the IHSA should not be able to tell us what we can do with photos we own. And...
