Blog Assignment #3

For this blog assignment I looked at newspapers, online radio's, and online websites to compare how the different journalist talk or write about what is going on in the sports world. First, I went on NYtimes.com and looked at their sports section. I noticed that they do not only talk about the sports games that happened the night before, but they talk about former athletes and their life. They cover everything about sports, the coaches, the locations and not only a scoreboard and the players.
I then checked out 98.5's online website. The hosts on this radio station mostly make jokes about the games the previous nights, and give their opinion. Conversation between two people on the radio about sports usually ends up in a mild argument. These "journalists" not only give the scores of the games, but their opinions on how the game went.
Lastly for a broadcasting course i chose to go on Espn's website. Espn's obviously the largest network that covers aspects of the sports. It gives opinions, it gives scores, locations, ideas, everything. It gives schedules, times, and more. I chose the website for my sourse, however, they are widely  knows for their television show.

  1. I like how NYTimes.com talks about more than just the game from the night before but more about the players lives. I think it is interesting that the "journalists" on 98.5 radio give their opinions about the games. I'm surprised that has not caused more issues with sports fans.

  2. When it does end up with the two hosts argue it is sometimes because they don't meet eye to eye on the game. They like to pick at some players, but truth is these players give us something to look foward to watching. They try their best lol

  3. Maddi, I enjoy your choice in radio broadcasting. It's so laid back and easy to relate to. It makes the morning drive that much more interesting.

  4. I agree that Sports Radio usually ends up in an argument. Why do we listen to it? Perhaps it says something about our culture's need for some conflict?
