Journalism 277 - Sports Talk Live

This hands-on course will familiarize students with the duties of a sport journalist on a live streamed sports show. Students will work on teams and take turns hosting, reporting and occasionally opining on "Sports Talk Live!!!", our in-class live streamed sports show. The work includes hosting/moderating the show, reporting, and doing game previews and recaps, analysis and responding to live comments and questions from the live streaming audience. Enterprising students may even have the opportunity do live reports from the field. By the end of the semester a productive student will have enough material to put together a performance reel to showcase their work.

Open to Journalism majors 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.
