Summary: Reporting the news is not an easy thing to do—not by any stretch of the imagination. A journalist’s calling is to dig beyond the surface, to assemble and synthesize details to form a cohesive whole, a picture of something not readily apparent. Thus reporters serve as heralds of the daily goings on, keeping each of us apprised of the important things happening locally, regionally, nationally, and globally. And sports reporting is harder than it looks as well. You aren’t just watching a game or rooting for your team—no. You are also analyzing and comparing, digging for metaphors from life or remembering famous moments from yesteryear. You must turn a sporting event into something epic, dramatic, and narrative, even if no such drama exists in the local high school basketball arena.

In this free video series, expert sports broadcaster Jamal Spencer teaches you how to be a super sports reporter. You will learn how to do camera work, how to give interviews, make highlights, use computer graphics, and lead a reporting team of one. Jamal also gives you tips on how to dress, how to get the job, how to be an intern, and how to write good sports journalism. It is all here, folks, even how to cover local, college, and pro teams.
