The Sporting News -- the former venerable sports weekly -- has created what it calls the country's only daily digital sports newspaper, Sporting News Today.
It is designed and packaged like a traditional newspaper, but delivered by email with a link to a PDF.
I received my first issue (39 pages) today. It's reminiscent of the short-lived sports daily The National from the early 1990s.
Unlike the newspapers delivered to my doorstep this morning, it was missing none of the "late" West Coast scores. It also had full stories and box scores on the previous nights Browns, University of Cincinnati and Miami (Ohio) football games.
Best of all, perhaps, it's free (at least for now anyway).
Click on the headline for today's issue. And note the story on Page 29 about the Tampa Bay Rays written by former Beacon Journal sports editor Bill Eichenberger.

A minor correction: The Sporting News Today does not link to a PDF, but rather to a digital edition using Texterity technology, which does not require any application other than a browser. (You can, optionally download the issues to your computer). It is intended that The Sporting News Today will be made available for free, and anyone who'd like to receive it can sign up at Coverleaf. The URL for signing up is www.coverleaf.com/sportingnewstoday.
