Jan. 9 Marks Beginning of Daily Online Sports Coverage
Posted by Brett Fischer on 09 Jan 2008 at 11:23 am | in: Sports
As a weekly paper, it is understandable that a reader may be frustrated by The Triangle, since articles are only posted online Fridays and the paper only comes once a week. It can be difficult to find out the latest information on Drexel sports teams when content is not made available daily. Additionally, readers don’t receive as much sports content when all the articles are jammed into one sports section and the sports section is forced to decide whether or not an article should make the paper.
This major issue has finally been resolved.
Starting January 9, 2008, The Triangle Sports section will offer at least one piece of sports content on the Web site every day. From the opening ceremonies for the Olympic Trials for Table Tennis Jan. 9 to the championship rounds Jan. 13, The Triangle will have up to date information. There will be multiple blogs posted per day so that people who cannot make the Table Tennis Olympic Trials can still get insight as to what is happening during the events.
Even after the Olympic Trials end Jan. 13, any sporting events that are covered will go online that day. If the men’s or women’s basketball team is playing at the DAC, expect the story for the game to be online later that day. If the wrestling team has a match at home, it will be on The Triangle site before the end of the day.
If for some reason there aren’t any home games and we aren’t covering a team on the road for a particular day, there will be at least one blog about Drexel, CAA, NCAA or professional teams. Under the Drexel category, there may be blogs about intramural teams and tournaments or about varsity and non-varsity athletes.
The purpose of having daily coverage and blogs is so that there will be new sports content on the site every day. That includes Saturdays and Sundays. If you have any suggestions for content that you think would be interesting to cover in a blog, feel free to email sports@thetriangle.org.
