Staff Reports


NORWALK -- The Hour Publishing Co., publisher of The Stamford Times newspaper, in an effort to expand its already solid local sports coverage of the city, has reorganized its sports staff in order to help it do an even better job heading into the new high school sports season.

John Nash, who was the paper's sports editor from November 2007 until January of 2010, has returned to that position, overseeing the weekly output of the paper.

Steve Geoghegan, who acted as sports editor from January until this fall, is going to be shifted to Stamford's sports beat writer.

Geoghegan will be getting out of the office more and covering the city with his 13 years of experience, 10 of which has been spent as a staff writer and copy editor for The Hour sports department.

Correspondent Joe Ryan will continue in his role of helping cover the city, as well, giving The Stamford Times a three-pronged approach in giving readers as much sports news as possible through its weekly printed publication, website and sports blog.

Jim Hanley, The Hour's sports paginator, will be handling the weekly layout duties of the weekly newspaper's sports section, as well, freeing up the rest of the staff to increase its coverage.

"The sports scene in the city of Stamford is big enough that it's not just a one-man job," said Nash. "The changes we've enacted are going to allow us to get more people out onto the sidelines, covering the events and bringing more stories to the people who want to read them. Stamford is a sports-minded city and we're always looking for ways to give those sports fans better coverage."
