I know the "horde" that usually follows the UConn women's basketball team on the road this season was down substantially, even in the NCAA's en-route to a 39-0 season. Just look at Scott Strazzante's trip to cover both the Blackhawks and the Bulls in one day ... he was the only shooter from his paper, The Chicago freaking Tribune, at the Bulls' game in Boston. I'm sure there was a day when the Trib sent someone to away playoff games?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?

The ONLY thing a local newspaper, the next day, can provide me that I can't get online right after the game (or even during the game at times) is a unique hometown perspective of my home team, with all the insights and subtleties that a traveling beat writer can provide that no one else can. If all you have in your paper is recycled wire service content, why on earth would I bother to buy your paper when I've already read that story 12 hours ago?  This post is:  Informative (0) | Funny (0) | Huh?
