TheDuke 13 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 I miss the standings and the district scoring leaders stats being in the paper, but the KTN put this out today. https://www.timesnews.net/Basketball/2020/01/21/standings.html?ci=stream&lp=2&p= Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stantheman 52 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 yeah the BHC is a joke, just now finishing the basketball previews and the season is half way done, thanks for this link, see they left the BDD out of it though, going to be an interesting second half of the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnionBears84 28 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 The newspapers around here are a joke. I remember when they would put out stat leaders in football and basketball during the season. Standings and have multiple write ups. They don't have the writers they used to have. Tim Hayes is the best writer in the area I think. I enjoy reading his stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigWinners 1,642 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 It's not a lack of writers per se, it's a lack of budget. Newspapers are dying fast and papers can't afford to send people to as many games or devote as many resources to covering all the local sports. Hard to keep the doors open with subscriber numbers freefalling. but Tim is a fantastic writer and the BHC needs to do everything possible to keep him. trublue and 1inStripes 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F@lcon 47 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 most of the loss of subscribers is the price per paper. It seemed to jump from $.75 to $2.00 overnight. Older people will pay that because they actually read the entire paper. Most people only get a paper for 1-2 sections. Some like to see sports, some like the region, etc. Not worth it at $2.

He only writes that column once a week, so that's not exactly anywhere close to 90% of what he writes about. I think it is neat to see that kind of stuff. swva_havok_fan, cowboysnskynyrd, 1inStripes and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
