Real games in real time
Mar 20th, 2008 by Amy Sweeney
Covering the State championship basketball tournaments took some preplanning.
The Eagle-Tribune sent six photographers out to cover three state championship games in two states. We had two photographers and a photo editor at all of the games.
Just a couple of years ago we would have only covered it with two.
The internet has completely changed how we do things. We blogged, uploaded photos to Rallynorth.net, changed the score for each quarter, shot video, gathered audio and helped photographers edit through thousands of images for publication and the web in real time. We had our laptops set up on the sidelines and edited the images to let readers who could not make the game feel like they were there.
