JAMC 3240 - Sports Reporting

Hours: 2
This course is designed to prepare students to report, write and produce sports stories in print, broadcast and online, from game results to related issues that affect athletes and fans. Reporters need the skills cover sports-related crises just as they need the skills to cover a baseball game. Students in this course will learn how to conduct an interview, develop unique reporting angles, create relationships with sources and complete stories on deadline. The course will also examine the history of sport and how “new media,” social media sites, news convergence and blogging are changing sports coverage.
Prerequisites: JAMC 1600
