Sports Journalism
Train to be a Sports Anchor. During each class, we will produce a
half-hour episode of "Sports Summer", a program combining hard news,
feature stories, commentary and live guests. We will format, write, edit
and produce the show within the three-hour class time. Students will
get hands on experience on the Anchor desk and in reporting sports stories
from the field. Your resume tape starts here!
Multimedia Sports
The way journalists tell sports stories is changing exponentially. Watching the game and getting quotes from the locker room is just a small part of the job now. As sports, newspaper and television websites explode with multimedia sports stories, learn how to build your own website in Dreamweaver and how to use basic PhotoShop and Final Cut Pro techniques to tell your stories with video, audio and graphical elements. Bring your game up to date in the digital age.
A panel of working journalists will join students in a discussion of a topical sports issue. The panel will be interviewed by the Director of the Institute, followed by a Q and A period by students.
