Introductory chapters acquaint readers with challenges in an industry in transition: changing technology, multimedia capability, citizen journalists and bloggers, shrinking news holes, and the deadline-dictated lifestyle of sports journalists. Skills chapters elaborate on news values and the conventions of journalism as they apply to sports writ- ing. From leads to nut grafs, inverted pyramid to Model T, simple sentences to headlines, interviewing to using quotations, Sports Journalism focuses on the basics.

It truly takes a team to win the game! ■ ■ ■ Kathryn T. Stofer appreciates and thanks those who helped make this book a reality, especially Brian for accepting the challenge and Jim for keeping all of us sane and focused through the process. To the consultants and copy editors who helped strengthen the text in so many ways: John Wood, Jeanne Tool, Tammie Wall, Sharon Brooks, John Brooks, Roger Doerr, Karen Doerr, Kendra Bargen, and, for his special graphic contributions, Isaiah May. ■ ■ ■ James R. Schaffer would like to thank Joe Gisondi for reading the manuscript and helping us better understand blogging; Ryly Jane Hambleton for her many insights into reporting and tireless dedi- cation to her craft; and Karl Skinner for his encyclopedic knowl- edge of small college sports. ■ ■ ■ ix x Acknowledgments Brian A. Rosenthal extends his grateful thanks to Kathy Stofer for allowing her former pupil the opportunity to share what he’s learned from the professor, and for her friendship and support; to James Schaffer, whose periodic visits over coffee kept a new author from turning gray before 40; to his former and current Lincoln Journal Star sports editors, John Mabry and Todd Henrichs, for their patience and understanding; to close friends and colleagues Steven M. Sipple and Mike Babcock for their knowledge, wisdom and humor, especially during the stressful and trying times of a sports writer’s career; to Ted Harbin and David Plati for their pro- fessional insight and help in chapter five; and to his parents for their continuing love and support. Preface RITING AND talking about sports rank right up Wthere with baseball, Mom and apple pie. That makes sports journalism an excellent career choice for those who love the excitement of the game, the rush of being in the press box or on the sidelines at game time, and the interaction with play- ers, coaches and fans. Sports reporters are journalists who write about sports. They’re expected to understand and speak the idiom but write so those who don’t can still feel they’re in the midst of the action. Fans and edi- tors expect them to know the rules of the game and the rules of journalism and be able to meld the two into colorful, action-packed game stories, picturesque profiles, informative features and thought- ful analysis in any medium. Enter “Sports Journalism: An Introduction to Reporting and Writing.” After teaching a course in sports reporting and writing for three years while searching for a textbook that met our require- ments, the authors discovered we were not alone in wishing for a tool that would provide a basic introduction to a sports reporting career and to the writing skills a novice sports reporter or media relations person needs. So we pulled together the curriculum devel- oped for the three-credit hour course, added examples, suggested activities and discussion topics for further review and created a book of easy-to-access information. The text is made timely for xi xii Preface each class by supplementing it with current examples, trips to sports events and visits with guest speakers. The authors intend the introductory chapters

INTRODUCTION By Diana Nyad For two decades, the GENDER IN TELEVISED SPORTS report has tracked the progress— as well as the lack of progress—in the coverage of women’s sports on television news and highlights shows. One of the positive outcomes derived from past editions of this valuable study has been a notable improvement in the often‐derogatory ways that sports commentators used to routinely speak of women athletes. The good news in this report is that there is far less insulting and overtly sexist treatment of women athletes than there was twenty or even ten years ago.
