    Fans on courtside

    Who started this garbage trend, taking seats from press row? I cover a Major D-I program and we have been delegated the end zones. I don't think fans, no matter how much money you have, should be on courtside. ... desturbing trend that just sucks! Goes to show you the power of a dollar!

    The "Homer" sports writer

    Also have to be careful what colors you wear. I never wear the color of the team I am covering or anything with their logo on it. Saying good luck to a coach is fine by me. I mean, we are human beings, aren't we? Cheering by reporters is a no-no in my book. Hate use of the word "we" Saw a radio...

    PM vs. AM

    Our current deadline we tried is 10 a.m. for color and 10:30 for BW pages. March 3 it will be 11:45-noon for color and 12:15-12:30 for BW. I do all of my pages in AM. Don't like doing it at night. I like getting the optional stories and west coast scores in the paper and I want the latest...

    PM vs. AM

    I work at a daily PM paper within 20 minutes of a metro. We tried a mid-morning edition for the past six months, but our readers like the PM cycle. A plus to this is that we get today's news in today. This cycle seems to work for us, especially if we have a story the day before the metro has it...

    Welcome to the @#$1@!4 newsroom

    Using the f-word is a VERY last option. I usually get up from my desk, walk down the hall and go outside for a while. Come back in and finish the job. ... Cursing doesn't help matters for me.

    Principal bans reporter from press box, apologizes

    I am the one that this story is about. Just to clarify a few points. I am the only paper that covers the team and a one-man sports department at a daily newspaper. I DID NOT write the story about the incident at the school. The press box has more than ample room for me. I have never had a...
