Sportswriting

Encyclopedia : S : SP : SPO : Sportswriting


Sportswriting (also "sports writing") is a form of journalism that reports on sports topics and events.

Within newspapers, the sports department is sometimes mockingly called the "toy department," because sports journalists concern themselves with games rather than 'serious' topics like politics, crime, business, etc. However, sports stories often transcend the games themselves and take on socio-political significance; Jackie Robinson breaking the color barrier in baseball is an example of this. Sportswriters face much more deadline pressure than most other reporters, because sporting events tend to occur late in the day. Many of the most talented and respected print journalists have been sportswriters.
