Preview magazine

[WOSdrummer99]

Just picked up the free preview magazine from the Examiner at Market Basket. Not much content. "Experts" picks for District champions, complete schedules, and media day photos for every team in SETX. 

Has WB QB1 Roy Thomas Jenkins on the cover and a article about him.

Newspapers aren't what they used to be. They used to have full time reporters and hire stringers to cover some of the smaller games. Internet totally destroyed the biz and the local sports fan is probably worse off for it.

Take the BMT Enterprise. They don't even print the paper in downtown so their deadlines get shorter and shorter. And they barely have people in the sports department. No greybeards to teach the young writers about the area and as soon as a writer shows some talent, he's gone because the newspaper won't pay what it takes to keep them. It's a sad, vicious cycle.

Seems like Cooper has been doing this for a while now. Maybe 10 years. But yea I get it. The big guys always push out the mom and pop shops. Even the "has beens" have been disappearing from local media. I'm interested to see how both local stations cover HSFB tonight.
