Overview
This course will examine sportswriting in its various professional forms and will instruct students in approaches to writing about sport for publication. The course develops the skills needed to be a sportswriter: event reporting, feature writing, opinion articles/blogs, interviewing, editing, and researching. Students will visit sporting events and venues in Rome, as well as read and analyze the literature of sportswriting. We examine the changing world of sports journalism, the rise of social media in sport, the issues around fake news, and the ethics of sportswriting.
