News/Photo by FITA: The second season of the Archery Fan Reporter programme is presented by the archery brand WIN&WIN. The best pair of reporters from the season will take the role again at the Archery World Cup Final Istanbul 2011. And the winners are: Krystine SHIFLET and Alexia MARTINEZ (USA)!The Archery Fan Reporter programme was launched last year. The programme allows young reporters, media students, sometimes true archery fans or sometimes newcomers to the sport, to produce daily stories (3-5 minutes in length) about various aspects of major archery events. It is the first daily coverage of archery events on www.archery.tv.
Thanks to a partnership with WIN&WIN, the reporters are helped by the expertise of the Hit the Roof Company, otherwise known as World Archery TV, that ensure all the TV production/broadcasts of the major archery events.

The TV expert who advised all the Fan Reporters, Fabien CACHIN, said: “It has been a wonderful season. The reporters worked really, really, hard to produce a feature story every day. They were creative and they took on the challenge to film and edit in the same day, just like the pros do. I really congratulate all the reporters for their dedication and the quality of their videos.”

The stories covered all kind of topics ranging from star profiles, para-archery, archery families, equipment, new rules and competition formats, etc.
