Over the years I have been Press Secretary to both rugby and cricket clubs, often paid expenses. I had cover in local papers but some years back they stopped using my efforts because they were reducing staff and cutting costs. I did some local reporting for the BBC which was done for nothing but did get my club reasonable coverage.
Local papers do not have a dedicated Sports Editor so less sport for readers as it saves them money.
The quality of coverage is not as good as it used to be 30 years ago because some reporters used to become specialists in sport and nothing else hence the lower quality.
