General Discussion - Introducing the Guardian Sport Network amaimu - Thu Nov 10, 2011 1:47 am Post subject: Introducing the Guardian Sport Network
When guardian.co.uk/sport was named website of the year at the 2011 Sports Industry Awards, the judges lauded the way we made our journalism "a two-way experience" and found "fresh ways of putting readers at the heart of [our] content and growing online communities". Today sees the latest attempt to open our doors with the launch of the Guardian 传奇私服 传奇sf Sport Network, a partnership with some of the best sports blogs across the globe.
The partnership involves cross-posting the most interesting, provocative and quirky pieces from our 15-strong network (a figure that will grow in the weeks and months ahead) on our Sportblog, with a link back to the original site, thus showcasing bloggers' work and hopefully driving more traffic to their sites. It is the intention of the Guardian to move closer to what our editor, Alan Rusbridger, has called an "open model of journalism" which promotes a far greater richness and diversity of content, and this is another confident step on this journey.
On the Guardian Sport Network you will read content on a fascinating range of subjects, including detailed analysis of the science of sport, sports law, and US, Portuguese, Brazilian and Argentinian football. You will read great writing from familiar names, such as Michael Cox of Zonal Marking and Brian Phillips, who has written for Slate and nfl jerseys cheap ugg boots outlet Grantland as well as his own Run of Play blog. There's also journalism from long-form sites, such as the Sports Collective, plus blogs from regulars from below the line, such as Gary Naylor and Nestaquin, who are responsible for the excellent 99.94 cricket blog. As well as a good number of other bloggers too).
