Good news this afternoon from Kristin Huckshorn, deputy sports editor at the New York Times, as she responds to reader mail: "You are right, we fell down on the job on the Liberty of late. Last week we were really jammed with other major events. The Liberty is on the road this week and we'll use wires and then have someone back with them after that."

Sometimes letter-writing campaigns do help. When Lena Williams (or whoever it is) comes back, tell the NYT you're glad to see her. And consider thanking the Seattle Times for not only covering the Storm pretty well, but sending their Storm reporter, Jayda Evans, to away games.

Newspapers put resources where they believe readers want them: if we want better coverage for our league, we ought to let newspapers know.
