Sportsbeat’s unique tailored copy service has been praised by editors at titles across the country.
In 2007 more than 125 UK newspapers published over 12,000 stories written by Sportsbeat journalists, filing from around the world and closer to home.
From the World Swimming Championships in Melbourne at the start of the year to the recent Rugby World Cup, Sportsbeat reporters were on the scene.
In addition Sportsbeat has acted as the official press agency for a host of sporting events covering everything from Paralympic to junior sport.
Lee Gibson, the Sunday Mercury’s Head of Sport, said: "During the past year Sportsbeat's knowledgeable writers have provided sharp and incisive copy, as requested, to length and on deadline, from all over the world.
“They provide stories or interviews tailored specifically to our requirements and always providing a credible alternative to the wire copy often carried by competitors."
A number of publications have also taken advantage of our syndicated columns, written by leading sporting personalities. For example, England’s Danny Grewcock penned our popular and exclusive column during the recent Rugby World Cup.
"We have had copy across the board - from the Ashes and Wimbledon, to a number of first-person pieces from the world of professional sport during both football and rugby world cups to swimmers and athletes at grass-roots level in the North-East,” said Northern Echo sports editor Nick Loughlin.
"Sportsbeat copy is quick, clean and informative and the only problem I have in recommending them is that our rivals may be alerted to their availability!"
Other titles, including the Edinburgh Evening News and Press and Journal, hailed Sportsbeat’s unique approach to tailored copy, which gave them the opportunity to cut down their reliance on wire copy.
"We're tired of the increasing amount of long-winded waffle offered by the wires at major tournaments,” said Hull Daily Mail sport’s editor Stuart Rowson.
“We have found Sportsbeat's 'what you want, when you want it' approach to be spot on."
