Bring your sports knowledge to radio, the internet or television screens for an exciting career in sports journalism. On this advanced-level course, students learn how to source, gather and deliver professional sports content on numerous different video and audio platforms across a wide variety of sports. The course also encourages students to develop their editorial and technical skills and build relationships with external clients, whilst creating a portfolio of video, audio and academic material to showcase their abilities to potential employers.With an increasing demand from sports audiences for innovative approaches to storytelling and high-quality production, broadcasters must constantly update their practices and utilise social media to research and promote their work. Understanding and adapting to changes within this fast-moving industry is core to the teaching on this masters degree.Regular ‘news days, where students will need to respond, gather and produce stories for a same-day news and radio output, are built into the course programme to further increase students exposure to a realistic broadcast environment and prepare them for the deadlines and quick-thinking theyll need to demonstrate to become a sports broadcaster.
