Ms. Rees Verified

Jennie Rees covers the sporting side of horse racing, while another staff reporter follows the business side of the sport. She also contributes regularly to the paper's Horse Racing blog and occasionally writes a column. [CR-LF][CR-LF]She appreciates story ideas that are clearly newsworthy, as opposed to "just a self-serving way to get ink for a product." Pitch her via e-mail; pictures and attachments may be sent so long as they are not excessively large files. She prefers when press releases are embedded in the text rather than sent as attachments. She says the subject line should tell what the pitch is about--not just say "press release."[CR-LF][CR-LF]Ms. Rees belongs to the National Turf Writers Association. In 1988, they awarded her an Eclipse Award for outstanding magazine writing, and in 1993, the same award for outstanding newspaper writing. She also received recognition for a game story at the 2000 Associated Press Sports Editors awards.
