Colorado sports journalism is so bad

Most of these sorts of trade associations are self licking ice cream cones.
I stopped following the area of sports journalism a while ago. I get nearly all of my sports news from forums and social media now. Based on posts here, I'm not in a small minority.
For those still engaged with sports journalism, what would you want and expect from the Denver Post or Boulder Daily Camera if you could direct them to change business practices and budget for their sports division? what gaps would you have them fill that remain after your reading of message boards and social media?

This is like Average Joes beating Girl Scout Troop 417 for the regional title.
Isn't he the only "sportswriter" left in CO? That seems the most plausible explanation.

4 time winner eh? The boys come a long way from sniffing Dante Bichette's jock strap
Yeah, but only after being disqualified for illegal use of a beaver tranquilizer.
GOD DAMN YOU, BERNICE!
What's sad is that he will probably win the same award several more times before he calls it quits.

he won't call it quits. he's going to be like one of those little dogs that is blind and deaf and sleeps all day and you feed it mush and have to carry it outside and squeeze the **** out of it once a day but the ****er just... won't...die.
And guess who owns most of those ‘fairly inconsequential regional papers’…
Sports is nothing but an entertainment section for men just like food, fashion, and gossip are entertainment for women.
Im not sure what I would change. For most local papers the key to subscriber readership is hyper hyper hyper local community news: Police beat, local prep sports, local government. People want to know whats going on in their neighborhood. Things the Denver Post and TV and NOT covering. After that state Pro Sports and State Colleges.
Print media is dying but the cost of printing and delivering is a shackle around their ankle. purely online hasnt worked out well for most of those that tried because the advertising isnt there. The Financial Times though seems to be doing it. I suppose some staff of valuable writers producing the right content could make it work. But thats hard to maintain.
Kiszla wins this likely because there are not a lot of sports columnists left in the state
Stay angry, my friend!
Say more...
Woody is at the Gazette IIRC, so Jizzla by default in a 'democratic' election. Competition is fierce with names like Howell et al. I like what the guys at DNVR are doing with their podcast, Brandon Perna is a good laugh on That's Good Sports Youtube channel...
Does it even matter?
Used to be that the big majority of homes got a daily newspaper, sometimes more than one. Many readers (mostly male) went to the sports section before looking at anything else.
How many people even look at a newspaper anymore? Since they put up the paywall I don't even bother with the Post or the Gazette anymore.
Advertisers have left and as a result when I have seen a paper, print or on-line it has shrunken to a mere shadow of what it used to be.
People simply don't go to newspapers for their information anymore
This was inevitable. The well-known sports reporters in every market long ago left their newspaper to start their own digital things. I believe the calculus for those decisions was that like 80% of newspaper readership and revenue came from the sports section. This was peeled away just like was done to the classifieds by online competitors.
DNVR have the best Nugs show going imo. Mares and his crew do a great job to say the least.
Perna's sense of humor isn't for everyone but he does a good job of covering the Broncos. Him and the DNVR guys are the only Broncos shows I watch amymore.
I'm really glad that Jake and RK are both on the CU beat there now too. It's really picked up since Jake came on.
Sorry, you're talking about Shap right?
