JRN337 JRN/337 JRN 337 Week 5 Discussion 1/ DQ 1 Beat ReportingGathering and Reporting News [latest] Beat Reporting: Gathering and Reporting News. In this era of convergence, beat reporters (e.g. Washington Press Corps, sports reporters, business writers, etc.) are expected to use all the tools available both to gather and report the news. Choose one of the following assignments: a. Select your favorite sports reporter and study how he/she reports the news this week. If you don’t have a favorite sports reporter, visit ESPN. Briefly explain how the use of traditional interviews, audio and video, blogs, online chats and/or appearances on local radio and TV make sports reporting more effective. b. Imagine you’ve been assigned to cover high school sports for your local newspaper or television station. Attend a local event (e.g. Varsity football game at your local high school, volleyball tournament at a community college, etc.) and write the first three paragraphs of your sports story. Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from required material(s) and/or other scholarly resources, and properly cite any references. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ posts by Day 7.
