Support Your Local Media - Letter to the editor

Dear Mr. Pine

Our family would like to give Michelle Gardner and Louis Brewster a standing ovation. For months now, I have openly congratulated the Daily Bulletin on your tremendous coverage of local amateur, high school and college sports. We especially like the interviews and the listing of upcoming contests. This has made a significant difference, I do believe, in the attendance figures for the schools and their teams.

My only suggestion, at this point, would be that the photos chosen be the sort that players and their families would be proud to see in your paper. Successfully getting a shot away, over an outstretched arm or scoring the winning run, is certainly better than a tangled up offensive player and the back of a defenders' head . . . or a collision at home plate where neither player is clearly identified. The student athletes and their families, throughout the Inland Valley, love your sports reporting. Provide photos that the kids will be proud of and truly hope everyone will see . . . will surely sell more newspapers.

Thank you for this opportunity and keep up the great reporting.

Respectfully,

Ed Pruitt and Family
