FAYETTEVILLE — The weekend of March 13-15 was awash with big brainstorming sessions for the sports department at the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
With sports across the globe initially being suspended and then canceled, we had to come out firing with a plan the following week as breaking news would be slowing to a trickle, and we needed good content to fill the daily sports section.
We initiated a multi-pronged plan to keep the sports section lively and flowing, interspersed with stories that sprang from teleconferences arranged by Kyle Parkinson and his communications staff in the University of Arkansas athletic department.
