News Herald signing story policy
The News Herald’s policy is to report on local and area athletes signing with Division I schools. The exceptions will be National Signing Day for high school football players and comprehensive recruiting stories for Gulf Coast Community College athletic teams.
All other athletes who sign scholarships to play college sports will appear weekly in a list on the Prep Page in the print edition, as well as appear on this Web site.
Other Freedom Florida newspapers, such as those in Chipley and Port St. Joe, don't share the News Herald's policy. Therefore, most scholarship signing stories from those publications will still appear in those print editions and also be displayed on this Web site.
The News Herald will publish individual signing stories online when the information and/or photos are provided by a qualified representative at the school, such as an athletic director or coach. Those write-ups will appear on this Web site and not appear in print. Credit also will be given to the respective school for the information.
