Which item is NOT found in media guides?

• A. Stadium seating chart
• B. Team info
• C. Player bio
• D. Historical data

Answer: (A)

Media guides are built to provide reporters with background on the team itself—its overview, coaching staff, roster, player bios, and historical performance—so they have context for coverage and game stories. A seating chart for the stadium is a venue-focused document, detailing where seats, press areas, and facilities are located, which is more about game-day logistics than behind-the-scenes team information. Because of that, the seating chart isn’t typically included in a team’s media guide. The items that are standard—team info, player bios, and historical data—are exactly the kinds of details editors rely on when writing previews, features, and recaps.
