Morris Dalla Costa from the London Free Press on the Western Mustangs victory over Brock in the OUA West championship game It's been a long road
Wayne Kondro's piece on the Carleton's victory over Ottawa in the OUA East championship game Ravens continue reign over rivals Unfortunately, the other newspaper in Ottawa did not find this event newsworthy enough to send a reporter and provide a more detailed report than the 63 word paragraph recap that could easily have been gleamed from a two minute telephone conversation in this morning's edition. With the CIS National championships only 2 weeks away and only 1 of the 2 major newspapers in town showing CIS basketball any love, I'm beginning to get concerned... I hope I am wrong and the Capital Region media (beyond Wayne Kondro, a one-man band at the Ottawa Citizen supporting CIS basketball, and Neate Sager on the CIS blog) begin to support this event. But thus far getting any pre-game/pre-tournament coverage on any media has been thin to non-existant.

How about a little love for the student media in Ottawa? We do reach campuses of 30,000 and follow the CIS teams around like lonely dogs.
The Fulcrum, La Rotonde, and the Charlatan were all in attendance, and you will not find more passionate Ravens/Gee-Gees basketball coverage.
...despite not getting half the respect or recognition of a Ottawa Sun, for example, the perpetrator of the 60-word article.
I agree whole-heartedly with your opinion on print media coverage in Ottawa, wass...
Outside of Wayne Kondro and the student papers, it is PATHETIC!
Thank god we have Wayne Kondro.
If he wasn't working for the Citizen I wouldn't feel good about that paper's commitment to CIS basketball coverage.
And the Sun?
Their idea of sports coverage is six pages of whining and fretting over the Sens and half a paragraph combined for everything else.
All in all, a sad 4th estate of affairs.
