Where is the Yotes rookies news and updates or any Yotes news at all... All I can find is Doan going to be in a parade... We should be creating a buzz, how is the local coverage?

Yes she is still employed, and I sure hope she doesn't read these forums.
I wouldn't say she's the best by any means but damn you guys are harsh.
Dont count on any reporter HERE to dig for facts and protect the ticket buyer or potential ticket buyer.
I'm not a fan of McLellan (or any of her predecessors on the Coyotes beat), but lack of coverage is due to her employer, not her. As is the case with every other local paper, the Republic has very limited resources, so it's no surprise they'd deploy her to cover Cardinals and Diamondbacks regular season games over a Coyotes pre-camp rookie tournament.
Support your local media.
Sarah is fine at her job. I would like it if she asked tougher questions but I'm not surprised she doesn't. There is not accountability expected of teams and their officials by fans. What motivation does the media have to ruffle feathers? What a thankless thing to do.

She's been at this for years and has not provided a single bit of information that could not have been gathered from box scores and team-issued press releases. She's not a journalist. She's a stenographer, and not a particularly good one.
She doesn't have to "ruffle feathers" to be a good journalist. She could do some digging and find out literally anything about stadium plans. She could write features that detail the off-ice character of some of the players, or analyze gameplay from a tactical or statistical perspective. She could build relationships with front office personnel that would afford her some inside info once in a while. Instead, she seems content to publish nothing beyond publicly available information.
