8 is the biggest one for someone that doesn\'t have experience with a paper. Being familiarized with AP style captions, and always having precise names and other info is very important. All other points are important too, but 8 is one I think people overlook. The caption is what helps elevate a photo\'s value as a news item.
If you are lucky you might not need to caption sports photos yourself. One paper I shot for did not want the photographers to caption any sports photos and they had the sports writers handle it (you did have to caption all other types of photos yourself though). I don\'t know if this is a rare thing or a common thing.
