  • Sports Reporting
    Conference 2005: Sports Reporting The changing world of the sports reporter By Ed Mason, School of Communication, Unitec. Abstract The JTO’s Jim Tucker identified ‘lack of knowledge’ as a journalism training issue for serious research. This is now more true for sports reporters. Rapid and bewildering change in the sports field means professional reporters, trained in a simpler age, struggle to develop a knowledge base to meet the expectations of a new and more sophisticated sports reader/viewer. New areas worthy of study include: 1. management of collective agreements including salary caps. The National Basketball League in New Zealand (NBL), Australian National Basketball League (ANBL), National Rugby League (NRL) and Australian Football League (AFL) all operate salary caps in Australasia . The New Zealand Rugby Union operates a graduated salary structure as does New Zealand Cricket. North American sports (National Football League (NFL), National Hockey League (NHL), National Basketball Association (NBA) operate extremely complex agreements with players unions including salary caps and a range of free agency arrangements for players. Major League Baseball (MLB) operates a ‘luxury tax’ to redress imbalances between the richest and poorest clubs. European sports, particularly soccer, face European Union employment legislation in cross border transfers. 2. Medical change including the powers of the World Doping Agency and recent Congressional investigations into steroid abuse in baseball. Baseball has been dumped as an Olympic sport in part because MLB and the Players’ Union will not meet Olympic standards for performance enhancing drugs. 3. Market forces and financing of sports teams and the negotiation of television rights have become more complex with the recent European Union signal that television rights for English Premier League soccer must be shared out.

  • Club Rugby - the Heart of the Union
    Club Rugby - The Heart of the Union In the professional era, which has been increasingly dominant in the game since the mid 1990’s, one of rugby’s basic tenets has been inevitably undermined. That is the concept that Clubs, both on the field and off as community forces, are the foundation of the game and that their interests should be paramount. A provincial union after all, is essentially a collection of Clubs who are the game’s true owners. To its credit, since its formation in 1985, North Harbour has always striven to give Club rugby, from premier down to the Saturday morning junior grades, the recognition it deserves. And even in recent years, when All Blacks, Super 12/14 players and occasionally provincial representatives, no longer appear regularly for Clubs and for those few at elite level, never at all, that mantra has still applied. A special promotion has always been made of Club finals day. As well as the premier final, plate and pool playoffs have also been held and either as curtain-raisers or on adjacent grounds, the finals have generally held for reserves, under 21 and under 19 grades. With most of the union’s Clubs involved, crowds, firstly at Onewa Domain and since 1997 at Albany, have occasionally approached five to six thousand. There was a slight variation to the programmes in 2009, with the premier grade championship and plate-finals being the only two games played because of the need to fit in with the start of the Air New Zealand Cup. There was still a bumper attendance at Albany and the union, again to its credit and that of the new representative coaches, Craig Dowd and Jeff Wilson, allowed the Clubs full use of their top players.
