If Kobe Bryant can blog all day long, why can’t the Desert Dispatch?
You can find the melodramatic Lakers star’s blog posts in the “Truth” section of his www.kb24.com Web site. Bryant’s recent “truths” included simultaneously asking for a trade from the Lakers and wanting to stay with the team. I guess there can not only be two sides to every story but two sides from one person to every story.
This is the blog world the Desert Dispatch Sports Department is about to enter. Athletes post their versions of stories, journalists try to add depth to their printed stories, and fans often join in from the sidelines. Just where does that leave the Desert Dispatch? We are still trying to figure that out.
Our staff consists of Sports Editor Matthew Peters, reporter David Heldreth and freelance photographer Steve Sanez. Desert Dispatch Editor Scott Shackford and reporter Aaron Aupperlee were the first to jump into the blog pool, and now we’re joining them. You’ll see our — hopefully less melodramatic — post at this very spot. We promise we won’t be demanding any trades.
Even while we are settling in, feel free to start leaving comments.
