Chris J. Graham named Carson Now sports editor
After broadcasting live play-by-play Western Nevada College baseball games for six seasons, and recently taking on regular sports blog reporting and analysis for Carson Now, it would be only fitting to give Chris J. Graham the title of Sports Editor. And so as of today we are.
Graham, 26, will step up sports coverage for Carson Now with continued blogs, stories, interviews, analysis and plans in early 2013 for a one-hour weekly broadcast sports show.
"Mindful and respectful, Chris is a fresh voice in the community who will give Carson City sports enthusiasts another perspective, point-of-view and way of delivering information to readers," said Carson Now Editor Jeff Munson. "What I like about Chris is he'll throw in monkey wrenches now and then to engage readers, challenging them to think outside the box. He does it with class, never personal and never mean-spirited."
"It's exciting to be a part of the digital change in Carson City and with Carson Now we'll be able to bring youth and local college sports coverage to a whole new level," said Graham.
"Being a lifelong resident, a 2005 Carson High School graduate, I am very big on our community so don’t be surprised if you see me out and about at not just the various sporting events but community events around Carson City and Northern Nevada," he said. "I will make a point to go out and be visible to the entire community. I look forward to going to many games of all sports and all levels throughout the Carson City region."
Graham is also putting the final touches on a weekly one-hour broadcast sports program “The He Said, She Said Sports Show” that he will co-host Jessica Kleinschmidt. They will talk about everything sports from A to Z and community sports goings-on and notes as well.
"She's a bigger sports fanatic than I am," said Graham. "She'll bring a point of view with her Northern Nevada has never seen."
The interactive show will have fans, coaches, players and entire teams as guests. It will be streamed live over the Internet on Ustream as well as on the radio.
"I'm excited to be able to take my ideas and be able to apply them," said Graham. "Carson Now is the community's go-to news and information website for a reason: It is open to innovative ideas, new ways of reporting and new venues to report from to deliver sports, news and information."
