Re: What do I need to know to get into sports journalism?

As far as I know, there are two paths to becoming a sports reporter. One is to study in the sports journalism department of the Sports University. The second is to study in the journalism department of ordinary universities and media universities, and enter the sports channel of TV station for internship after graduation. I don't know much about skills, I don't study journalism. But I think interviews, shorthand, generalization of problems, familiarity with training and injuries in sports teams, tactical design and adjustment, etc., should be the focus of attention. Hope that helps.

A broad understanding of the sports business, detailed industry knowledge, creativity, communication skills, ability to read and research, and connect with sports fans are some of the essential skills to make it big in this profession.

Re: What do I need to know to get into sports journalism?

A bachelor's degree is sufficient for this position, a sports journalist who wants to separate from the crowd and obtain advanced reporting abilities should pursue a post-graduate degree. A master's degree in journalism usually includes coursework in new digital technologies, multimedia journalism, specialty fields, and completing a thesis project. A solid portfolio and experience in the area are required to become a sports writer.

A sports journalist's job description varies depending on the employer, individual positions, and the type of media you work in. Take advantage of the on-the-job training that an internship provides by gaining as much experience as possible. For example, start a sports blog, contact an expert sports writer for assistance or a work shadow opportunity or contribute to the sports department of your school newspaper.

What do I need to know to get into sports journalism?

Hello! I'm going to be a sports journalist. When I was a kid, I was involved in soccer, and when I graduated from high school, I decided to go into sports journalism. What could you advise me as an information study? What do I need to know and what can I face in this profession?
