The newspapers I work for, the Antelope Valley Press, was bought by Horizon Publications. Anyone work for this group? What is it like?

We covered five of the team's 10 games so far. Playoff pairings come out Sunday. We will get them all in the paper for Monday.

I don't know. The coach is feeling slighted, I guess, because we didn't write a story about how his team is playing for a league title. The team won four in a row. The other team won its first league title in 11 years, but they weren't complaining about lack of coverage. Then again, we wrote a...

That wasn't even one of my options. I tried calling the coach today. Went straight to voicemail. I want to talk to him, mainly to tell him he can't talk to my reporters that way. It's high school football, not a pro wrestling match. Too bad your team lost, try not to take it out on my reporters...

One of the volleyball teams is the second seed in its division. One of the goflers reached the Southern California individual championship tournament. It was also the first week of playoffs, so a ton of teams playing. The newspaper covers 17 high schools, four leagues and two CIF divisions...

One of the high school football coaches in our coverage area threw a tantrum directed at one of my reporters after his team lost to a league rival and subsequently lost the league championship. He accused us of not covering his team and not writing a story previewing the big game. Mind you, it...

Sports reporter needed: A sports journalist to join a five-person staff covering a two-county Southern California area with nearly 20 high schools, a community college, a minor league baseball team and a new university sports program. There is targeted and wire coverage of national sports teams...

Write around it. Paraphrase. He said he's one of those players who makes everybody better. He said he remembers the one time Joe Jock missed a game with injury. Not everything needs to be in a quote.

I just took over a sports department. The staff is behind on running all area teams. They have been understaffed for a while. The paper has not run all area teams from the winter sports, basketball, soccer and wrestling. Is it too late to run them? Should we just skip them and work on spring...

Covering bad Little League games is worse. Covering youth rhythmic gymnastics is way down on that list too.

Kweonsam, this might be a stupid question, but do you know how to keep your own stats, keep score for a basketball game?

There's no cheering in the pressbox. Certainly no cheering in the newsroom.

Struggling lazily = welfare queens. Struggling mightily = millionaire small business owners.

I wonder how many points the boys got for reaching second base or third base or going all the way.

I would argue that the onus on reporters to be accurate, fair and unbiased is greater than it has ever been in newspapers. The gatekeepers and safety nets have all been laid off or furloughed. The reporter is expected to produce copy without errors or scrutiny. So, yes, the journalism landscape...

Journalism is a noble pursuit. A BA in journalism is a futile pursuit. The best journalists I know majored in anything but journalism.

The Daily News can't be the only media outlet reporting this. If so, the LA Times and ESPNLA are not doing their jobs. Not to side with USC, but are the beat writers at the Times and ESPN too chicken shirt to report an injury to the kicker for the No. 3 team in the country?

I have seen a trend at high schools in Los Angeles, the private vs. public school debate. To take it a step further though, there are some private schools that are shutting down some of their sports programs, football in particular, because enrollment is dropping. Some schools are combining to...

What are 19 year olds doing in high school? I know some kids are slow, but come on.
