Real Sports Reporting

Rating:
Summary: Editor explains why this is a strong book.
Review: Contributors to "Real Sports Reporting" include Michelle Kaufman of The Miami Herald; Jeff Gordon of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch; Tim Povtak and John Cherwa of the Orlando Sentinel; Adam Schefter of the Denver Post; Jay Weiner of the Minneapolis Star Tribune; Philip Hersh of Chicago Tribune; Pat Forde of The Louisville Courier-Journal; Scott French of Soccer America magazine, and several other top-drawer, veteran sports writers at major print media. Each Contributor writes only about his or her respective beat and/or special concern - there is simply no filler here. The book is not for beginners - it doesn't patronize your love of sport - but rather tells you how it is, and how to cover a beat or deal with other real issues in the world of sports reporting. Topics covered include auto racing, tennis, baseball, football, basketball, Olympic sports, soccer, golf, hockey, investigative reporting in sports, racism in sports, differences between covering high school and college sports, and more.
