Dawgs247 – How UGA Expertise Fuelled Its Rapid Rise in Sports Media

Established in late August 2010, Dawgs247.com is often asked about its beginnings and unique characteristics. Dawgs247 is somewhat young, yet in sports media it has established a reliable brand very fast. Dawgs247 is dedicated to upholding great standards of truth and dependability at a time when media credibility is often undermined.

Dedication to Credibility

Maintaining trust is difficult in the present media environment, where unconfirmed facts and prejudice are all too often. Credibility is highly valued by Dawgs247, which also aims to provide objective, reliable news and analysis. In a world where sensationalism and rooting interests can eclipse accurate reporting, this dedication to accuracy is very vital.

Part of a Legacy

Being among the first sites in the 247Sport network, a venture started by Shannon Terry, Bobby Burton, and other Rivals.com founders makes Dawgs247 proud. Dawgs247 started as a brand-new company unlike many sites joining the network with pre-existing subscribers. The fast rise in subscriber count indicates the good response and growing demand for its material, therefore indicating the success of its strategy.

A Team with Football Reporting Deep Roots

Dawgs247’s success may be ascribed to its crew’s experience, especially the UGA team writer, Estes. Estes, who bases in Athens, has more than ten years of covering college football on big platforms. Starting his career at Grady College of Journalism at UGA, he oversaw The Red & Black as Editor-in-Chief.

Estes’s career path includes positions at the Albany (Ga.), Herald, Decatur (Ala.), Times Free Press, and Mobile (Ala.) Press-Register. He notably covered the University of Tennessee as the primary beat reporter and then under the AL.com brand became the lead University of Alabama football beat writer for Newhouse publications.

Estes’s work has received national attention; three top-10 ratings from the Associated Press Sports Editors are among them. His dedication to investigative journalism is shown by his first-place prize in 2009 for a series on the expense of football recruiting at SEC universities.

Experience in Recruiting Analysis

Mansell, a top recruiter covered in great detail, is also rather important for Dawgs247’s success. Having worked in media and recruitment for more than five years, Mansell has become a major industry expert.

Starting as a recruiting analyst for Scout.com for Georgia in 2008, his career progressed to Southeastern Analyst the next year. Mansell’s name has been strengthened even further by his participation in MVP Camps spread around Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, and Alabama.

He also helps under Armour and Scout.com host camps. Respected sources such SportsIllustrated.com, The Sporting News, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, and ESPN Radio have highlighted his work. Mansell joined 247Sports in 2010, adding to the team great knowledge and insight.

Growing With the Community

Dawgs247 is a relatively recent addition to the 247 Sports network and is now undergoing fast expansion and evolution. Improving products to fit the tastes and expectations of the public still takes front stage.

This development path emphasizes the need of reliable, excellent sports journalism as well as the dedication to change with the society. Success is determined by readers’ confidence and respect more so than by subscription count.
