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 webmaster, and 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 get students talking about issues like paying collegiate athletes, violence in sports and its long-term physical and mental effects on players, 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.
