MLN Sports - Clippings 2006

One of the ways that we protect your investment in our digital real estate display ads is to make sure that our articles receive broad coverage by a wide variety of interested publications. MLN promotes its articles with press releases on its own newswire (The Raw Feed), through direct information sharing with other news outlets, and via other news services like PRWeb® and the AP. A sampling of where our stories have appeared:

National On-Line

Every day, publications quote MLN stories and newswire articles. Alexander Wolff, a columnist for SI.com, paid us a unique honor in 2006. He embarked on a project to buy a minor league team in the American Basketball Association (ABA) and cover his trials and tribulations for Sports Illustrated® at their CNNSI.com ® website. In September he announced that the regular column would be titled "Alex in Wonderland," crediting a piece titled "Alex in Wonderland - Alexander Wolff Wanders the Basketball Road Less Traveled" that he had read in The MAJOR BLOGS of Minor League News by MLN senior editor Brian Ross. MAJOR BLOGS is a new publication that fractions off what was the Opinion Section of MLN Sports Zone to become its own publication in the new stream of the "blogosphere."

Major Regional Newspapers

Quality writing and compelling stories by seasoned journalists and the best new young talent in the business means that stories are talked about regularly in major newspapers coast-to-coast from the Boston Globe to the Oregon Examiner. We're also the go-to source for many publications doing stories on the minor and independent sports leagues. Their on-line versions provide thousands of links back to our articles, and your ads.

Television

Frequently MLN editors and reporters are tapped by local television stations for our market expertise. We have the oldest dedicated minor league sports business news section that covers all sports with original stories. These tie-ins to major market outlet stories, and regional stories of interest bring huge readership back to the articles where your ads appear.

News Blogs

Our publications are quoted and noted by thousands of news blogs world-wide.

News websites and professional blogs run by journalists help spread the word about our articles on the web. The story to the left appeared almost a full 18 months after the article ran, and brought several thousands of additional reads to an article that would have been in the waste bin in any print publication.

RSS allows our news at MLN - The Raw Feed to be rebroadcast by the scores of bloggers and other news aggregator services out in the digital universe. You'll note that your ads appear not only in our publication, but in theirs. Same low price.

League Websites

	Did you know that there are 47 active professional sports leagues operating across the United States, Canada, Mexico and the Caribbean? MLN covers independent and minor (affiiated with a major league) leagues in four sports: Baseball, Hockey, Basketball and Football. We also cover women's professional sports at the indy and minor league levels. Leagues pick up our stories to promote their own agenda. We do: Business of the Year All-Star games; Playoffs and Championships; PR & Media Awards (The Ralphies) Travel Halls of Fame Player feature stories If you are working with a league, cross-promoting in these stories can add extra lift to your campaigns. Links continue to provide readers for your display advertising day and night, 365 days a year, for years and years to come.
	We cross promote at many league and team websites to draw more readers to our section pages.

Team Websites

We routinely issue press releases on major stories. Minor league teams are allowed, with proper attribution, to republish stories on their clubs in print publications. We also encourage them to link to our site. Major league clubs carry our news when a player of significance to their fan base is talked up, or when we present awards to either the major league club or people in their front offices.

Sports Websites

Our stories, particularly the FAB50 rankings, are frequently quoted by sports websites as a definitive source of information on a player.

International Websites

	Minor League News (MLN) covers a lot of players from throughout Europe, South America, Asia, and Australia. Our unique features and large photos make us the preferred choice of most electronic magazine short lists of US titles abroad in places that our single sport, smaller, and less focused competitors are not even mentioned.
	We're not even sure what commentary got added here, but it's a blogger commenting on our 2005 Farm of the Year award and the FAB50 Baseball 2005 recipients who made the list. MLN is read the world over by sports fans who follow American teams and the players increasingly recruited from Asia, Australia, and Europe in addition to Latin America and the Caribbean.
