Dear Editor:
Over past years, I’ve noticed the excellent photography by your staff photographers in the sports section of the North Shore News. While realizing some are stock photos obtained, most of the action photos regarding a single athlete or a team are superb. Most are of the athlete in the middle of scoring a goal, reaching for a basketball or some other sports scene. They are action packed in a still photo, which is a split second opportunity for a skilled photographer.
I would like to also commend the editor of this section of your paper where I find there is an equal distribution of news about both male and female athletes.
In other newspapers, it seems the pages of sports news are about male sports and rarely is there news of any endeavours by females in individual sports or the many female sports teams.
It is important for younger children to have role models for a sport they may be interested in pursuing. The North Shore News creates that even playing field for both boys and girls to know of sports available in their community and schools.
No doubt the North Shore News will continue to provide such excellence in their articles and photographs of sport for future issues.
