Hi

Some sports journalists cover one professional sports team, whereas others may produce stories on a variety of local, university and/or professional teams. Some sports journalism jobs focus on interviewing athletes, while others focus on game/tournament highlights and results.

Some career options are,

  • Sports writers/reporters for print media (including newspapers and magazines)
  • Sports editors for print media (including newspapers and magazines)
  • Hosts of radio or television sports shows
  • Sports announcers/commentators for radio or television
  • Sports writers/reporters for television or radio broadcasts
  • Producers or directors of television or radio sports shows
  • Online writers/reporters for sports websites, e-magazines or e-newspapers
  • Online editors for sports websites, e-magazines or e-newspapers
  • Sports information specialists
  • Media Representative for sports teams, associations or major venues

A bachelor's degree in journalism , English, communications is a related major to study and became a sports journalist .
