We receive lots of submitted photos in the e-mail, mostly for youth sports, and often get the question, "Why don’t you run team photos?" After all, in a team photo, every player gets their pic in the paper.
While team photos may look impressive displayed on the mantle, they don't make for strong copy in the newspaper. Sports are built on action and those are the kinds of photos that should leap out from the section everyday.
The city of Davis produces lots of championships throughout the year and if you run one team photo, you’ve got to run them all. It may make me an unpopular sports editor at times, but at least it makes me a consistent sports editor.
