Sports Reporting

Catalog description

This sports reporting class is open to all, and students will learn the basics of covering sports for all media platforms. Students will become well-versed in the coverage and storytelling about a range of sports. They will use their skills to cover The City College teams, other college, community and high school teams and athletics and under-reported sports throughout the city. They will learn to humanize the stats and tell sports stories that have meaning for readers, viewers, listeners and athletes. While the emphasis is on text, students are encouraged to use photography, video and audio to tell stories. Student work will appear on HarlemView, the journalism minor website. This course was created by the Journalism Minor and the Department of Athletics.
