Oregon Media Insiders

Look. I appreciate the fact that the 'O' zones its high school features. But yes, most of their features do fall into the lame-ass category (few sources, relatively little background) and yes, most of them run with photos shot at practices (despite the the fact that each of the athletes covered plays at least once -- and in may cases twice -- per week).
I would admit to not being specific enough with my comment about their reporters' work rate -- what I meant is that almost none of them individually writes as many as two stories per week. In total, between all 6-8 prep writers (Fernas, Ulmer, Binder, Blue, Mooney, McCray and probably a couple others I can't remember), they probably put out as many as 4-5 different stories per week. Go get 'em.
As to the smaller papers, that was what the original post was actually asking about -- which ones are good, which are not etc.?
