Rival newspapers The Dallas Morning News and Fort Worth Star-Telegram will team up for some of their sports coverage to cut expenses and duplication of work, The Associated Press reported Tuesday.
In autumn 2008, the two papers also signed a joint distribution agreement, and at the end of the year began sharing some photos and arts coverage.

The Morning News will cover basketball team the Dallas Mavericks and hockey team the Dallas Stars, and that coverage will be available to the Star-Telegram. Meanwhile, the Star-Telegram will cover the Texas Rangers baseball team and that coverage will be available to The Morning News. However, the teams will not share their largest beat, that of the Dallas Cowboys football team, or sports columnists or investigative stories, the AP reported in a story posted by The Morning News.
Coverage of some university teams and other sports will also be shared.
