A weekly look at what's new, what's coming on our site ...
• Please join Josh Yohe and me in welcoming Matt Gajtka to our full-time reporting staff, our second major hire since the site's launch last July.
Matt, who already had been part of our family of contributors with his terrific coverage of the Riverhounds, will wear many hats as a staffer, and that's part of what makes his hire so perfect for us at this stage of our continuing growth. His primary challenge -- and I use the term advisedly -- will be to oversee our new college network, which I'll describe in a bit. But he'll also write a weekly statistical analysis, with the sports varying, under a title we're still trying to concoct. (I'm pretty sure he'll reject my suggestion of 'Gajtka's Geekery.') And beyond that, he'll be involved with our regular coverage, including the pro teams.
Beyond all that, Matt just gets it. From the moment this site launched, I could tell he understood, inside and out, what I hoped to achieve here, from the tell-people-what-they-don't-already-know nature of the coverage to interacting with our audience as no one else does (or wants to), and I've appreciated that almost as much as his actual contributions.
Trust me when I tell you the site just became a whole lot stronger, my friends.
