We continue our look at the local media contingent covering their NFL clubs. Today we go to the Twin Cities and look at the reporters who follow the Minnesota Vikings…
Newspaper- The largest newspaper in the region is the Minneapolis Star-Tribune. They appear to have a fairly comprehensive sports section, including an area dedicated to the Vikes. Beat writers Mark Craig (Twitter) and Dan Wiederer (Twitter) maintain the paper’s Access Vikings blog. Columnists Chip Scoggins (Twitter), Patrick Reusse (Twitter) and the legendary Sid Hartman (Twitter) will also comment on the Vikes. The paper also has an independent fan blog by Bo Mitchell, Patrick Donnelly and Christian Peterson
Sports Radio- Sports radio KFAN serves as the flagship of the Vikings Radio Network. Paul Allen serves as the radio play-by-play voice, joined in the booth by Peter Bercich and Greg Coleman (Bercich Twitter) (Coleman Twitter). The FAN and KSTP are also the best places for Vikings talk on non-game days.
Television- KARE, KMSP, KSTP, and WCCO are the main television outlets that cover the Vikings. Fox Sports North will also provide coverage of the team.
Blogs- The following independent blogs are another resource for Vikings fans; Purple Pride, Daily Norseman, The Viking Age, Vikings Gab, The Viking Ship, MNVikings Blog, and the team’s own blog.
