Here, our paper does a decent job, but the TV station is not covering Mercer as much as they cover out of town schools.
http://www.wmaz.com (local TV website) http://www.macon.com (paper website)
I sent the following to the TV station:
One thing that really bothers me is how Georgia and Georgia Tech have their own section on your website’s sports page while Mercer is lumped in with GC&SU and FVSU under the heading “College.” FVSU and GC&SU are both Division II schools and both are approximately 35 miles away while Mercer is a Division I school located here in Macon. Even the Macon Telegraph gives Mercer their own section on their website’s sports page. There are plenty of sports to cover at Mercer, but I don’t believe you can depend on Bob Pope to report the news to you. Please try this website, they are always posting stories: http://www.mercerbears.com/. In fact, there are two stories on http://www.mercerbears.com about Mercer baseball players being drafted that I have not yet noticed on your website.

Let us know if you get a reply. It's sad that they don't have a Mercer section.

It is very sad that WMAZ lumps Mercer in with division II schools that are over 30 miles away under the section "College." Mercer deserves its own section on the sports page; Mercer is a local division I school! Plus there are plenty of stories to report on http://www.mercerbears.com/
Go to http://www.wmaz.com and post comments telling WMAZ to give Mercer their own section.
