Summary

Sports is the fastest growing sector in the media, and sports coverage is no longer relegated to the back page of a newspaper.

This text provides both a contextual and practical overview of sports journalism, including the organization and interdependence of broadcast, print, and digital media; how media coverage of sport is structured and prioritized; interviews, sources, and contacts; planning, researching, and covering an event; and writing news, features, profiles etc.
