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 Senior, Junior and Sophomore Journalism majors only. We advise journalism students to not take this class at the same time as Journal 332 Sports Journalism or Journal 365 Live Digital Sports Production. Please see your journalism advisor for course planning.

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
