All NFL Media is Local- Super Bowl XLVII

http://sportsmediajournal.com/ The teams and media are beginning to assemble in New Orleans for Super Bowl XLVII between the Baltimore Ravens and San Francisco 49ers. There is plenty of national coverage on the game. But we feel the best way to learn about the two teams is through the work of the local media covering each club. Here is a compilation of some of the local media outlets covering the Ravens and 49ers for the Super Bowl: Baltimore Ravens Local Media Newspaper- One of the most underrated mid-sized newspapers in the Country is the Baltimore Sun.
