Hello all
Just wanted to reach out looking for some assistance to help the club get some coverage in the local paper.
I’ve just spoken to Mike Parsons, sports editor of the Guardian, and they’re snowed under and under staffed for what they’re needing to do across all their papers. Cost cutting has meant coverage has dropped significantly.
Basically, they’ve said if we want coverage, we need to supply them with it.
It’s far from ideal, but coverage in the Guardian would be helpful I think. Spread to the word to the wider population than just Wittoners.
I’m doing as much as I can but I can only do so much with juggling full time employment with all the media and social media and potentially, but hopefully not, the programme, as well as family life.
In addition, unfortunately, I’m unable to attend the next few games as I’m having to self isolate until a week tomorrow. For Saturday, in particular, ideally I’d like someone/some people to provide match coverage across socials, match report, photos etc for our channels plus to send to the Guardian. If you can help, it would be really appreciated.
Going forward, I’ll try and get a weekly column going for the Guardian to keep up to date with all things Albion, but having just moved house, I’ve still no WiFi until Wednesday so it’s proving tricky with working from home too!
All the best
Paul Harper.
Media Officer.
