Genral State coverage is overall lacknig
All the papers are not stepping up, due to financial limits. Vriginian Pilot has eliminated the VT beat writer partnership with the Roanoke Times) and relying on just AP feeds. They will not send anybody for the VT pradtices, press conferences and games, (will not pay for reporter to travel and spend the night).
Richmond and Newport News trying but editors again limiting travel to Blacksburg.
Roanoke, cut back in personnel and resources. Generally reporters are not hot on VT public relations. (No special priviledge).
Washington Post only paper delivering dedicated sports writer and travels to Blacksburg. Fredericksburg paper beginning to up their game.
Expect more VT news through social media, and national feeds.
