Career Exploration Series
Sports journalism is power, responsibility, fast-paced, demanding -- a lot of hard work. It's also great fun! The benefits include box seats at the games, meeting sports stars, getting to know the people who manage the major league teams or train the Olympic athletes - travel, fame, and hearing words of appreciation from your own fans. As for the pay. . . it varies as wildly as possible among all the career tracks, jobs and places in which sports journalists can find themselves.
Students will learn how to get started during and after college by working on the small town daily, how to develop skills and progress into a position as a big city daily beat reporter or columnist. The major differences in newspaper circulation levels are discussed-- including salary, workload, pressures, etc… Mr. Warsinskey will give valuable guidance on the importance of a broad education, the demands of the profession, and how to make it in this very competitive field.
