Next week, Fox Sports will formally announce that they are featuring Bleacher Report content on their site. This is an outstanding example of “fan journalism” being recognized by mainstream media as a source of quality insight. 
 
Bleacher Report is thrilled that Fox Sports views this fan-generated as strong enough to be positioned alongside that of its star writers such as Ken Rosenthal, Joel Sherman and Jay Glazer.  Bleacher Report articles are already live on the site and have secured prominent placement. Take a look at these links for some examples of the Bleacher Report content featured by Fox Sports:

This deal with Fox Sports is the first in a series of partnerships Bleacher Report expects to announce as it continues to syndicate its content to other sources and works towards its goal of becoming the “AP of sports editorial.” 
 
Meanwhile, Bleacher Report continues to score impressive milestones.  The site is poised to crack the one million monthly unique visitors mark, with nearly 4,000 writers who have contributed a total of 30,000 original stories since going online in September 2007.

Its pretty amazing that Fox has scored two deals with both Yardbarker and Bleacher Report while no other major sports media network have done anything.  If deals like this can allow Fox to make a move in the Comscore rankings where both ESPN and Yahoo dominate, it will be intersting to see if the other networks follow suit.
