The Tribune-Democrat

Post by Eric_Knopsnyder »

As a casual reader of BleacherCoaches, I know there are plenty of well-informed sports fans in the Laurel Highlands. And I know many of you have opinions about how our sports coverage at The Tribune-Democrat could be improved.

Well, here’s your chance to be heard on both of those fronts. We’re looking to step up our coverage both in the newspaper and online. To do that, I need more writers throughout our coverage area, which includes all or parts of Cambria, Somerset, Bedford, Indiana and Westmoreland counties.

Mainly, I’m looking for help covering Friday night football games. I’m particularly interested in writers from the parts of our coverage area outside of Johnstown - southern Somerset County, northern Cambria County and Bedford County, etc. But we’re always looking for strong writers, so don’t let a Johnstown zip code keep you from contacting me.

And while football dominates the fall sports scene, we also welcome writers who feel more comfortable covering other sports, such as soccer or volleyball. Or, in the more immediate future, AAABA or Legion baseball.

Most freelance work will be straight game coverage – in other words, the writer’s opinions shouldn’t be a part of it – but in some instances we might consider guest blogs on http://www.tribdem.com.

So if you’re interested, or if you simply have ideas for improving our coverage, please contact me at [email protected].

Eric Knopsnyder,

Tribune-Democrat Sports Editor
