Lax Ohio State (at U-Maryland) 5/18

[Jim Hyla]

The New Haven Register didn't even bother sending a staff writer to the Yale quarterfinal game on Saturday. They ran an AP story today about the game.

Must have used up their travel budget covering hockey ::crazy::

Sadly, it seems that The Ithaca Journal has almost no travel budget any longer, either. Though it appears they will at least make the trip to Philly.

Isn't Will Cleveland with the IJ? Didn't he go to the game for his report?

Will Cleveland does cover Cornell sports for the IJ.  I'm a little fuzzy on the protocols, but I would have expected a dateline of College Park if he had actually been there.  Instead, it's blank.  http://www.ithacajournal.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2013305180032  His post-game quote from Jason Noble is explicitly by phone.  Maybe it goes the other way.  The dateline on his story about the win over Maryland had a dateline of Ithaca.  The stories about the Ithaca College baseball team's progression to the College World Series credit the staff with a dateline Auburn.  Wikipedia says the dateline reflects where the story was written.  Perhaps they just slipped and left it out.

I dont know but it seems that he was in Ithaca, his twitter mentions interviewing Mock, Pannell, Noble and DeLuca over the phone. Also earlier that day on twitter he mentioned that Bill Courtney paid for his lunch

The New Haven Register is a much larger paper than the Ithaca Journal. For example, it covers nearly every UConn basketball game, men's and women's, home and away.

The NH Register is owned by the once again bankrupt Journal Register company. I assume the budget is tight.

A dateline with a staff credit (not an individual writer credit) often means that the article is a rewrite of a news release. Or that the story was written by someone who listened to a radio broadcast or watched the game on TV. Personally, I think an article shouldn't have a dateline unless the reporter was on site at the event, and that's been the practice at most media outlets where I've worked.

The Journal is undoubtedly in a tough spot because Gannett has gutted that place. I wonder how much the lack of a Sunday print edition plays into some of their travel decisions with CU sports. But then again, isn't that why you have a website?

Not a bad discussion. Two interesting quotes:

John Jiloty (@jjiloty)

Rob Pannell — I think RP3 locked up the Tewaaraton Trophy with his eight-point outing on Saturday. He's now six points away from tying Matt Danowski's all-time NCAA points record (despite playing in nine less games), and he's lined up to have a season for the ages: shot at Cornell's first NCAA title since 1977, NCAA points record and Player of the Year honors. He seems to be doing it the right way too: spread the ball around and making his teammates better. Steve Mock is also having a season for the ages, and Pannell is a big part of that.

Casey Vock (@cvock)

Late Leads — If this weekend proved anything, it reinforced what might sound like common sense, but is so crucial for teams competing at this level — no lead is safe. I don't enjoy interviewing the losing teams come playoff time. The look on Marcus Holman's face as he answered questions from media members nearly got me choked up. But it's the way the ball bounces sometimes. If anything, some of the teams and players who are reeling from unthinkable losses will only become better and stronger people from that sort of experience.

The first, I was wondering what the game differential was. The second, give me a break.

Well, I got choked up hearing repeated TV references to Pannell and Mock "taking that step to greatness." translation: shot that went in, in a playoff game they won.
