JRNL 116 - Sports Journalism and Social Media

Semester Hours: 3
Social media have opened up many avenues to journalists, replacing the traditional “game story, sidebar, notebook” days of reporting. This course will examine the use of social media platforms in sports coverage and teach students the skills necessary to report sports news and events in a social media landscape. The instructor is the editor, and students are the reporters in this classroom. The classroom will be treated as a newsroom, and students will be held to newsroom standards. Ethics, accuracy, and sourcing are important issues in social media. This course will explore these topics in depth.
