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 webmasters, 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 contactsInterviews with journalists whose success is measured by their many, many followersDiscussion questions that get students talking about issues like paying collegiate athletes, violence in sports and its long-term physical and mental effects on players and equality issues on and off the fieldAn expanded glossary that includes terms such as “hot takes,” “scrum” and “trolls”Writing tips for journalistic style including how to use numbers and statistics accurately and effectivelyHelpful examples on interview techniquesDiscussion of legal terms that apply to published workPromotion of the ethical standards set forth by the American Sports News Editors and the Society of Professional Journalists

We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies.
