About TeamWorkPress

Newsrooms need to look for ways to be more cost-effective; but, often, wire services don’t offer the kind of specialized treatments of stories that your readers demand.

When your teams go on  the road, or when your readers want an update on the hometown hero who has gone on to the big leagues, publishers have two choices; to spend money on hotels and airfare to send their reporters on the road, or rely on the cookie-cutter copy from the wire.

What if there was another way? A way to ensure that your paper gets exclusive content when a team is on the road or when there is a local angle in a sports story happening abroad?

There is.

Team Work Press is a collection of experienced sportswriters stationed in cities across North  America, and each one is ready to become your reporter for a day ... or more. Just contact us, tell us what you need covered - and we will provide copy  specific to your paper, all for a fraction of the cost of sending reporters on the road.

We act as your one-stop depot for reliable copy. No matter if your team is playing a road game in Calgary, Columbus or Chicago, our growing team is designed to service your needs.

• No hunting down stringers in city after city. One office to deal with. One place to get copy. One number for editors to call.
• When a AAA ball team or an AHL hockey club goes on the road, you get maybe a couple of inches worth  of copy - if the wires cover it at all. We treat everything we cover as if it’s the big league. We’ll go in depth, no matter what the sport or league.

We have writers who have worked inside and outside of the traditional Big Four sports. Our writers include veterans who have covered Major League Soccer, the Friday Night Lights of high-school football, junior hockey and college sports. Our chief editor is a veteran of big-city newsrooms and has also worked in the National Hockey League. We understand the challenges editors and publishers have in shrinking newsrooms When you deal with Team Work Press, you deal with one office, one phone number, one desk.

Easy Payment & Cost Effective

If you know you’ll need to use us on a regular basis, to cover a divisional rivalry or a four-game baseball series over a long weekend, we do group rates. The more stories you reserve, the more your paper can save.

And all you get is one bill. No hidden costs. No extra charges that need to be brought down to your accounting department. And, if you’re looking for copy on a tight deadline, subscribers can check the copy desk and simply click to download stories for use. If you choose a subscription service over the pay-as-you-go option, your publication gets a unique client name and password, and we bill only for the copy used.

Premium customers can reserve exclusivity; if you want us to cover the story, and ensure your competition doesn’t also get the scoop, we’ll keep it private.
