Molto Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 Hey guys, I just want to let some of ya guys know that I'm running the ChicagoSportsReview.com, it's a web site of a monthly magazine. Anyway, I've been working on it for the last two months and just wanna let ya guys know about it. http://www.chicagosportsreview.com It is still a work in progress in regards to some of the layout and the news content we'll supply, but it's getting there and eventually we're going to have serious coverage on all five main sports teams as well as all other Chicago and Chicago area sports teams and leagues: from the Wolves to high school football. We'll also be getting press credentials and stuff like that in the near future so our coverage won't be based from the outside perspective. Anyway, I want you guys to check it out and give it a try, sign up for the newsletter if you want and give me some feedback on it. We could use all the insight and suggestions and comments you guys can offer. Also, if there are any journalists on the board who would like to gain some good experience, add clips to their resume and be a part of something that we hope to be the number one media source in Chicago. Write here or email me at mario@chisport.com if you have any comments or are interested in contributing. thanks guys, Mario Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danman31 Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 The site looked pretty cool. I'm not sure what to expect from the mag or anything and I still don't know what the end product will be, but it's a good foundation to build off of. I'm still curious as to what you are going to have in the mag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mathew Posted January 30, 2004 Share Posted January 30, 2004 I know a kid who does photo journalism who could probably help with hockey stuff, or if you were in a pinch I could moonlight myself. Looks neat on the surface when I get a chance I look a little closer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm still curious as to what you are going to have in the mag. the magazine, which is free right now, comes out at the begining of every month, right now it's at a circulation of 30,000. The content is pretty basic: feature stories, columns and stuff like that. right now, it is only 16 pages or so, but we will be doubling it next month.

Molto Posted January 30, 2004 Author Share Posted January 30, 2004 Mario, where are you guys distributing at? Anywhere downtown? I'd be curious to pick it up. there are a few places downtown, but I don't know exactly where to be sure as I've spent all my time on the web portion of it. I had the list at one point but I think I lost it as I do too many times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molto Posted February 2, 2004 Author Share Posted February 2, 2004 well, no, at least not yet. when we do start covering IHSA, it won't be game by game, we'll probably just have a few correspondents/reporters for it who will write a couple days a week or so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously, the lower the team the longer it will take to supply coverage, but our goal is to cover everything, even if some are only on a weekly basis. In many cases, it will be better than what others are doing anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
