Sports Journalism

An Introduction to Reporting and Writing

By: James R. Schaffer,Steve Schaffer,Amie Just,Kathryn T. Stofer

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 contacts Interviews with journalists whose success is measured by their many, many followers Discussion 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 field An 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 effectively Helpful examples on interview techniques Discussion of legal terms that apply to published work Promotion of the ethical standards set forth by the American Sports News Editors and the Society of Professional Journalists

The second edition of Sports Journalism: An Introduction to Reporting and Writing has passed the test of time, been used in classrooms internationally, received approval and praise from professors and students, and now it, too, has moved into the new environment of sports media. New chapters on social media and topical issues in the sports world, as well as fresh examples and new references to current technology fill its pages whether you choose to read from a tablet, a Smartphone, a Chromebook or old-fashioned paper wrapped in a cardboard cover. Inside this new edition you’ll find • Three new chapters devoted to the evolution from a daily news source to a 24/7 news cycle. • Interviews with journalists whose circulation is measured in the number of Twitter followers he or she has. • A chapter encouraging discussion of ethical issues affecting today’s athletes: Should college athletes be paid to compete? Can play be too violent? Is there a level playing field for men and women? How should eligibility be determined for athletes who may be transitioning their gender identity? • A glossary that includes terms such as ‘hot takes,’ ‘scrum,’ ‘trolls.’
