Frequently
Asked Questions about Sports
Say
I have a sports trivia disagreement with one of my friends. Can I call
you for information?
It depends. If we are not on deadline working on the next
day’s paper, we’ll try to help. Otherwise we may ask you to call back
at a less busy time or take your name and number and call you later.
Do
you publish letters to the editor?
Yes. Sports letters to the editor are printed in a feature
called Fans’ Forum. They must meet the following criteria:
Why
is Ed Hardin’s column so opinionated?
As with most columnists, Ed’s job is to present opinions
that inform, entertain, touch and even challenge our readers to think
about certain issues, trends and personalities in the world of sports.
The opinions in his column are his own, however, and not the official
stance of the sports department.
Why
don’t you cover all of the high school games on a given day or night?
We’d love to if we could, but there are almost 60 high schools
in our coverage area. We don’t have enough reporters, space in the newspaper
or time to produce our own stories from every site. However, we do count
on representatives of the schools to call us to report on games we were
not able to cover ourselves.
What
do you consider to be community sports?
Our section will reflect how our readers and residents of
the Triad spend their time and money participating in sports activities
for competition, personal improvement or pleasure.
What
if I want to get a team picture of a youth-league champion in the paper?
Our local community news section, People & Places, handles
those pictures. Call Robyn Taylor at 373-7062 for details.
