Appalachian State University athletics are a major part of the media coverage for news outlets on campus and throughout Boone.
Spot media coverage and advertising are two important aspects of App State sports that go unnoticed. The brains behind the publicity is the Sports Information Department at Appalachian State.
“A lot of it can be really random,” Ben Winterrowd, assistant director of Sports Information, said. “Time management and prioritizing are huge parts of our job.”
Whether it is back to backs, Thursday and Saturday turnaround games, road games, creating game programs while in an airport, events one day or traveling to Alabama the next, these are just a few of the grit and grind the athletic department goes through.
