As some of you know, I am creating a directory of all US soccer media. I'm looking for mainstream forms to add. I currently don't have a WUSA & USWNT section, but I need to create it. I admit I'm not knowledgeable of the women's coverage, so I was hoping you folks could assist me in getting it started. What I'm asking for is people to provide me with links to newspapers, radio and tv sites that provide coverage of WUSA or the USWNT. If you could detail that coverage, that would be absolutely fantastic, but a link alone would still be appreciated. If you are wondering what it might look like, or what it is that I want, please check out the US Soccer Media Directory in my signature. Thank you, -jim meissen
www.OurSportsCentral.com is a good place to start. They tend to have a decent selection of WUSA articles listed on their site. Go under either "Women's Sports" or "Soccer". Atlanta Beat --- Atlanta Journal Constitution www.AJC.com Washington Freedom --- Washington Post www.WashingtonPost.com Washington Times www.WashingtonTimes.com OnTheSidelines onthesidelines.org San Diego Spirit --- San Diego Union Tribune www.SignOnSanDiego.com North County Times www.NorthCountyTimes.com Carolina Courage --- Durham Herald-Sun www.HeraldSun.com Raleigh News & Observer --- www.NewsObserver.com Boston Breakers --- Boston Globe www.Boston.com Boston Herald www.BostonHerald.com San Jose Cyberrays --- San Jose Mercury News www.MercuryNews.com San Francisco Gate www.SFGate.com New York Power --- Newsday www.Newsday.com New York Times www.NYTimes.com I don't follow the Philly Charge that much.
www.philly.com Two of the newspapers that cover the Charge, Inquirer and Daily News, have their newspapers on this site.

that was made much quicker thanks to you guys and the fact that i could copy several papers from my mls links... still needed some changes, but not much i also still need to throw into the directory... that wil be somewhat painful, so it might be a couple days until i do that (i have to change numerous posts around and amend my back-up files) let me know of any errors or anything else that should be added
Two writers for the Inquirer. Marc Narducci covers them mostly. Mike Jensen does do them sometimes but mostly other soccer news.
San Diego Brian Hiro is the main soccer writer for the North County times. He seems to have at least one article a week on the Spirit, and occasionly has an article on the USNWT (it has been doing it's training down at the ARCO Olympic facility, and so was fairly easy for him to cover.) The Union-Tribune has the Wednesday inside page of the Sports section devoted to soccer, it is called 'Goal!' Mark Zeigler covers just about anything having to do with soccer on that page.
Ok... I've made the corrections that people have submitted and placed the information into the directory... the exact post can be found here please let me know of any further corrections or additions and i'll add the winston salem-journal later... -jim
