As print school newspapers face the realities of increasing costs and reduced district support, they will be heading online where they will reduce production costs and fit in with the changing ways teens and their parents want to get their school news and information.  For those inclined to choose journalism in their college studies, the online experience is more relevant that the print newspapers.

And that will include sports information.  School sports reporters, photographers and even videographers will be able to publish and distribute their stories on a real-time basis rather than once a month or even once a quarter as with their print newspapers.

The GR8sports module is designed for school website integration and uses R.O.P.E technology...  Report Once, Publish Everywhere.  This allows every school in a conference, even the state, to publish and share content such as scores and standings.  The syndicated offer is FREE to school newspapers and booster clubs and can be delivered in their school colors with their mascott.  Reporters can show off all their reporting with just a click in their own GR8sports Portfolio.

And once we are prviding a module for school sports, they will welcome income and fundraising opportunites.  Income options might include allowing them to sell and activate local advertising ro sponsorships.  Fundraising might include integration of the GR8auctions, GR8deals and GR8cars modules.

An important part of the GR8sports publishing model includes a national GR8sports Journalism Club with local chapters to provide guidance, training opportunities, contests, quarterly meetings and even scholarships.

This is another example of how the GR8sports/GR8fundraisers philosophy is unique in the market... focused on the kids, not us.  If we focus on the kids through powerful programs for athletes, journalists, booster clubs and parents, we will Change the Game in unexpected ways developing strong, loyal partnerships.
