TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - “Former Tampa Tribune sports writer Scott Carter has been named senior writer for a new website devoted to covering Florida State University sports. The ESPN-affiliated Web site is expected to make its debut in September.
Carter joins Impact Sports after 10 years at the Tribune, where he covered FSU for the past two years. Prior to taking over the FSU beat for the newspaper, Carter covered the Tampa Bay Rays and Tampa Bay Lightning for six years. He also covered horse racing, including multiple Triple Crown races.
"I'm excited about joining Impact Sports and pleased with the opportunity to continue covering Florida State,'' Carter said. "Seminole fans are some of the most passionate and knowledgeable in the nation. I'm committed to making this ESPN-affiliated website the most authoritative source on FSU sports news anywhere on the Internet or in print.''
Carter started his newspaper career in 1995 at Hernando Today in Brooksville, Fla. He later worked at the Fort Pierce (Fla.) Tribune and served as a correspondent for the Orlando Sentinel. He has covered the World Series, Major League Baseball playoffs, Stanley Cup Finals, Super Bowl, NCAA men’s and women’s basketball tournaments, and various college football bowl games in his career.
Carter is a member of the Football Writers Association of America and was also a member of the Baseball Writers Association of America and Professional Hockey Writers Association during his time covering professional sports. He has won various writing awards, including a Top 10 Associated Press Sports Editors honor for feature
writing in the Tribune’s circulation category in 2006.
