Blogging the NFL Draft

The NFL Draft is under way and that's a big deal in Green Bay, Wisconsin (home of the Packers). And all other NFL cities, for that matter. Bill Scott is the sports director for the Wisconsin Radio Network (one of Learfield's state radio networks) and has been covering the the draft for 16 years. This year he's blogging it.

In previous years we've put a live audio feed up on our satellite channel so Bill could do reports. And we've streamed the audio on WRN.com. But the physical setting and the timing just didn't lend itself to this kind of coverage. Now Bill has his laptop and wifi so he's blogging. I assume other media are doing the same.

I've posted on this subject countless times but still find myself a little amazed that blogging might be the best way to cover and event like this. Would live audio/video be better? Well, it would be good. But if you missed it, you missed it. The blog posts will be up there until we pull it down.

This is a first for Bill so it'll be interesting to get his thoughts on this. Watch this space.
