Kevin Kaduk, the editor of Big League Stew and Yahoo! Sports, joins the show this week to get down to the nuts and bolts of sports blogging. As a University of Wisconsin J-school grad and former writer for the award-winning Kansas City Star, Kaduk’s prestigious old-media pedigree gave him the tools to succeed in the new world of online sports journalism. Kaduk says that sports blogging success is all about finding good people: from the bloggers he manages at Yahoo! Sports to the web engineers who handle design and presentation, the most valuable thing at a sports blogger’s disposal is pure know-how. Tune in as Kaduk and I discuss the value of formal journalism training, why good content is always king, and how to become a “blog overlord.” In This Episode, You’ll Learn: What it means to be a “blog overlord” (0:14) The ins and outs of editing Yahoo!
