Readings: Multimedia Sports Journalism: A Practitioner’s Guide for the Digital Age: Chapter 8. Television Sports Broadcasting; Field Guide to Covering Sports: Part IV. Exploring Further: Primer C: Covering a College Beat; Primer D: High School Sports; Primer E: Avoiding cliches.
Special Note on This Week’s Writings: In your readings this week, you took a dive in High School Sports, which is a lane that some of you may enter into before stepping up to college and pro writing. It’s grassroots sports writing, and allows reporters to truly own beats and break news, albeit on a smaller scale. But there are lessons to be learned every day covering high schools, I promise. In that chapter, there is a section called “Write,” which offers seven suggestions when covering high schools, where so much of the statistical research, phone calls, interviews fall on you. Study those seven suggestions in the “Write” section, and detail two of them for the class here. Use detail, feel free to critique them, and be elaborate as possible, knowing that many of you played youth and high schools sports. Have fun with it.
