MinnPost takes title in media Quiz Bowl
In a closely contested competition, MinnPost prevailed over WCCO-TV in overtime Tuesday to win the fourth annual media Quiz Bowl. Six teams competed in the event, sponsored by the University of Minnesota's School of Journalism and Mass Communication and hosted by its alumni board. Since MinnPost is only 12 weeks old, this was the first time we participated in the event. We promise to report on it next year, even if we lose.
Among the other illustrious competitors:
Teams from the Twin Cities' leading media organizations (WCCO TV, Star Tribune, Pioneer Press and more) will go to battle--answering questions about Minnesota politics, sports, arts and entertainment and more!
Needless to say, the Northern Alliance Radio Network was not asked to field a team or I suspect you'd be seeing a different result.
Checking the calendar, I believe we are available in January 2009 (and, coincidentally, just about every day February through December 2008). If they want to make this a real test of trivial excellence, and aren't afraid of facing the New England Patriots of Irish bar trivia, they know where to find us.
