Press Club scores with blogging program

Several enterprising people have branched out to explore the Kansas City area’s thriving blogosphere, and are making waves in the way they cover KC sports.

Four of them discussed their experiences with the Kansas City Press Club on Wednesday, May 16, in a panel discussion at the Trailside Center, 9901 Holmes Rd., Kansas City. The discussion covered all aspects of blogging, including best practices, different types of reporting, how bloggers fit in with the band of more traditional sports journalists and--perhaps most imporant--how to keep afloat financially.
