Launching a Special E-Edition Sports Report On Sunday Mornings

E-EDITION

KLAMATH FALLS, OREGON

As more readers migrate from print newspapers to e-editions (digital replicas), APG newsrooms are rethinking their approach to the various platforms in their arsenal. Klamath Falls editor Gene Warnick had an outstanding idea to give readers a special e-edition Sports report on Sunday mornings. The four-page section is primarily high school and local small college coverage, but also includes reports on Oregon’s two nationally ranked college football teams: Oregon and Oregon State. “I hated the idea of days-old game stories on Tuesday,” said Gene, “so (we) ran them in our weekend sports e-edition and repurposed the key elements into college and high school notebooks for Tuesday’s print edition.” Gene, who has a background in Sports, also changed his work schedule so he could be in on Saturday, often leaving the newsroom early Sunday morning.

Emporium of Arts and Entertainment

E-EDITION

NAMPA, IDAHO

“Emporium,” an arts and entertainment publication, is “a compendium of arts, artists and events in the Treasure Valley.” These topics are Boise Weekly’s tentpoles. They are also sorely missed and often looked over or treated as “less than” story fodder in more traditional, daily papers. This publication salutes iconic venues and art institutions as well as devoting the most ink on those who keep the arts community alive: the artists. In addition to visual artist representation, the section includes music artists, a glass artist, a tattoo artist, a sculptor, a ballerina, a poet, a mural artist collective, a local, Pulitzer-prize winning author and a food artist.
