Sports Journalism

Sports Journalism combines decades of on-the-field reporting and in-the-classroom teaching to present the most comprehensive and contemporary playbook for student journalists. The third edition features expanded coverage of social media, writing and interviewing skills, as well as discussions on race and gender in the world of sports.

Two new authors, Steve Schaffer and Amie Just, join the third edition with stories and insights from their nonstop lives as sports journalists. Since today's sportswriters are often also bloggers, videographers, commentators, talk show anchors, and webmaster, and the authors have filled the book with the technologies and techniques they use across their many roles.

Chapters provide exercises for practicing concepts and skills as well as discussion prompts about contemporary issues in sports.

Features:

• New chapters on social media and on building relationships with sources, colleagues, and media contacts.
