New Gannett "beat writer" for Tech/Grambling/HS

Decent write up from Marq Mitcham. He has previews of all the CUSA teams.

Some would tell us we don't believe in Science since we love the (real) paper industry and dead pine trees more than we love the planet.:D

Haha. I'm a dead-tree guy myself, but this move away from the daily paper has nothing to do with saving the planet. It has everything to do with saving a few dollars. Printing a newspaper is costly. VERY costly. I was shocked how expensive it is. Gannett has been incredibly short-sighted and made some absolutely maddening, bone-headed decisions in the name of saving a few bucks (and ultimately losing a whole lot more in the long run).

Okay. I started back working out a little bit today and I'm tired . . . . can you translate the above for me?

Louisiana Tech Held Hostage -- Day 2!

And not a word inside sports either.

Now I'm thinking the fix is really in.

Yet, our money is spent on page one. How much did we have to give TNS in return for this ad?

Are we REALLY using the #everloyalbe thing again?

Marq is truly one of the best. He is pretty much the reason our little paper stays afloat here in Morehouse Parish.

We should be using Bastrop, Ruston, along with other small daily and weekly papers like The Ouachita Citizen instead of TNS. We'd get MUCH better coverage.

Today marks the 6th consecutive day without any Tech coverage in The Times. And another NWST article was published in The Times today.

Tech should cancel all Gannett advertising immediately.

Our part-time beat writer thought Mitchell Robinson was a football player... :rolleyes4:

Geeez....

We were going after Mitchell Robinson as an inside receiver / defensive end. He runs a 4.9 and is expected to be an excellent special teams player.

O.K., Just where exactly is a Bulldog Fan suppose to get any info this Fall?
So far, little has been printed and if I remember last year LaTech Sports only had a few articles for the entire Fall camp! It wasn't so long ago that all articles printed in the various papers were posted on here, are their just none being printed to post?
Although I am here in South Florida, I can get KNBB(ESPN97.7) on my Alexa machine... But, when do they talk Bulldog Football on there?

Ouachita Citizen came in mail today. It had the first printed camp story of the week. A weekly beat a daily newspaper. . . .
