DMN: Coverage! Coverage! Coverage!

We had a woman golfer who came back from a serious injury. We have two Swedish seniors graduating from the Men's tennis team and playing their final matches this weekend. Those stories could have been written even on page 5 by a local paper. The Washington Post had two articles about Maryland lacrosse players (man and woman), and now a front page story about an accused Duke lacrosse player from the DC area. The DMN is trash!!!

"No stories published recently

No SMU stories have been published recently."

I went to the SMU page on the DMN site today and found this message.
At least they admit it...
Now THAT's funny!

i believe they are mocking us..

It is two weeks now. What will be the story that breaks the streak? Doherty's first recruit? Anyone have a guess. I am guessing we will have a short story in one of the weekend editions.

How about a front page headline:

McClown's Head Explodes Upon Announcement of New Basketball Practice Facility.

That second one is frightening!

there seem to be two points here:

1) The point of the newspaper is to sell newspapers/advertising...

2) If SMU is not generating stories to accomplish point # 1, they will not be covered... not exactly fair, but I think it is darkly accurate from a business perspective. Jounalistic integity or local loyalty has little to do with it, IMHO.

Yet another day without coverage.

Yup. But, we now know UT-ex superstar back-up QB Matt Nordgren signed with the Eagles! Been waiting for that story to play out!!

(He had some legal troubles down there too....)

DMN is not covering the C-USA meetings???

McClown27 · Post by **McClown27** » Thu May 18, 2006 9:35 am

I guess not, I don't even know about them. Typical DMN! :roll:

Matt went to Bishop Lynch...therefore a local interest story. We tried to get him. Too bad he didn't come to SMU...he would not have spent his days riding the pine here.

just a reminder...
