I appreciate all the insight. I would love to incorporate a weekly story from the track at my shop. Our post time is 6:55 p.m. and they race in the evening and throughout the night so no early mornings.

Our shop is going to cover the Opening Day of horse racing at the local track and I drew the short straw on that. I've been to a few tracks as a gambler but never as a journalist. What are things that you, who cover horse racing routinely, look for on opening day for stories? Any insight would...

hmmm, we're a half hour from Indy thereabout and haven't heard

Wondering when people will hear back on their AFC Championship credentials and if anyone has heard back yet. Just wondering what's up as it's less than 48 hours before and my shop has not heard.

I am located in Central Indiana, just south of Indianapolis and have been a sports writer for 11 years. Experience: 11 years high school, five years college experience, three years on the NFL. Have covered NASCAR Camping World Truck Series and Nationwide Series, IRL, NFL, college football and...

Earlier this year, I was released from my former employer and have found out that since then, they have talked shirt about me to former collegues and those I covered. Since then, I have found a much better job with less headaches and hassles. However, I remain friendly with the publisher but had...

Over a decade's worth of experience, including five years as a sports editor for two newspapers. I live outside Indianapolis and am available for any sport or event.

I am so happy I got out of dodge before Heartland bought my old rag. This is F'ing embarrassing.

Wondering if any of you have done it and what your experience was like. I have a buddy of mine from college, who worked for me in the paper business and is now headed into the world of sports talk radio.

I am at a weekly shop where my main job is the sports editor. No problem there. However, we cover our county fair like ESPN has covered the Favre saga and everyone in the editorial side (four of us, including the editor) are expected to cover it. Now we were told to take lots of pictures. I came...

Is Ashland a nice place to live and raise a family?
