Journalism 391SB - S- Sports Talk Live

This hands-on course will familiarize students with the duties of a sports broadcast journalist. Students will host and appear on "Sports Talk LIVE!", our in-class, live, radio show, and "Amherst Wire," our TV Sports Show. Work includes on-mic and on-camera, calling highlights live, game previews and recaps, analysis and anchoring. Students will gain experience behind-the-scenes production experience, and by the end of the semester, a productive student will have enough material to put together a performance reel.

Open to Journalism majors with testing agreement only. Students who can shoot and edit video can turn in video stories for extra credit. But this is not required. By the end of the semester, a productive student will have enough on-air material to put together a performance reel.
