Coming Soon: Owls Daily Journal

Hello, Happy New Year, and Welcome to a new feature on OwlsDaily.com, the Owls Daily Journal. Somewhere between blog, notebook, and the traditional opinion column, I’ll use this space to bring you the latest Temple sports news, including my views.

In the modern news age, sports media coverage has changed a great deal. We’ve seen consolidation among major media outlets and a boom in independent news sources – most of them internet-based. In some cases, we’ve also seen a merger between news providers and actual newsmakers.

With that in mind, I’m adding Owls Daily Journal to the regular cycle of Temple team coverage and Scout.com recruiting coverage on the site. Previously, I might have included these news, notes, and opinions in one of our message forums. But I think they fit in just as well on the front page.

Owls Daily Journal will also help maintain the continuity of front page coverage on the site, particularly in the offseason. (As if there really is one.)

Generally, I’m not going to change the format of anything else on OwlsDaily.com. I’ll continue with traditional coverage of basketball and football games, press conferences, recruiting, and selected feature reporting on additional Temple sports. Looking towards the summer, I would like to add more special features and alumni coverage.

But let me start with Owls Daily Journal. Check back later for Journal entry No. 1.
