TV taking job at Sanford Health

Re: TV taking job at Sanford Health

Do you think that the Argus may take releases like an AP report? KELO does not often send a camera to Brookings. They receive the footage taken by SDSU camera from the game. It may take a direction we do not expect. The Argus has a shrinking market which means less advertising money. That is losing income on both sides of the stream.

No I don't. SDSU beat is too valuable for them not to have someone assigned.

Re: TV taking job at Sanford Health

I don't see Zimmer taking the SDSU beat. Unless things have changed he has clearly said he likes the D-2 beats (Augie & USF) and not the rigors of covering a D-1 school. There has got to be some young journalists jumping at the chance to apply for this position, Terry has made this position into a very good gig. The next person will have some huge shoes to fill. The research and time Terry put into his coverage was second to none.

Just don't stick us w/ Mick. The Skyforce coverage has been next to nothing since he took over. Skyforce has had two players called up to NBA teams in the last week and very little or no mention of it.

On second thought have a feeling it will be Zimmer. Short-term? interim basis?

I believe there is/ was a sports reporter at the Omaha World herald that is from Brookings. Matt Miller might be his name. There is anotherfjournalist former bobcat/ jackrabbit Josh Linehan out east. Both could be a good fit.

Re: TV taking job at Sanford Health

Stu is no longer Sports Editor, he has moved over to reporting about city issues.
Assignments/beats have changed for the sports reporters. Terry is no longer Skyforce beat writer, I think he really enjoyed that beat.
There were a few layoffs. A new guy they just brought in for covering HS sports a few months ago was let go.

Jacks#1Fan may have more insight and additional changes.

Do they have a sports editor now since his changed? Wondered why stu had a lot of non sports things on the site.

Re: TV taking job at Sanford Health

I think the effects of TV leaving will be felt throughout the Summit League and the MVFC. He did a great job as we know of covering SDSU but he also kept us up to speed on everything that was happening throughout the conferences. His coverage leading up to and of the Summit League Tournament was unbelievable. I'm guessing even someone like a Tom Douple won't be happy about him leaving.

Re: TV taking job at Sanford Health

Terry was pretty unhappy with the changes made in the past months at the Argus, and so I am happy that he found a job that I am sure will be better for him and his family (less travel...and lots of night work on a morning daily). I am sure that there will be some good applicants for the position, but less sure of what will happen right now at the Argus with his departure. And as has been expessed here...it was TV's entrepreneurial reporting (he worked hard coming up with all kinds of ideas and his social media efforts were great) that made him stand out...and that is going to be hard to duplicate.

It is a new position that deals in marketing for North Dakota, South Dakota, and Minnesota.

...related to Orthopedics and Sports Medicine.

Re: TV taking job at Sanford Health

Right on. Have not heard many details on his new work, but suspect it involves media and not bed pans.

Re: TV taking job at Sanford Health

Maybe the dude from the Sports Block will take over? That was awful.

I liked Traxler's stuff but it'd be hard for a recent State grad to be objective right?

I think it would be and that is an issue. The guys that cover the coyotes for the Yankton paper are good guys but they are coyote fans and it definitely influences how they report. That is a problem in my opinion.

Re: TV taking job at Sanford Health

There is no question that the coverage will go down. But how far?

Being selfish right now but I wish TV would have waited till basketball season was over to take the job at Sanford. He probably couldn't have waited though. I just wonder what the coverage will be like now during the Summit League Tournament.
