Sports Journalism

The sports journalism option takes the principles of general news reporting covered in reporting and applies them to the full range of sports reporting skills.

The programme of study includes: an introduction to sports reporting; the sports news cycle; press conferences and interviewing; sports news, sports public affairs and sports politics; sports features; and editing sports stories.

The exam is divided in to two parts: a live match report where candidates produce half-time and final whistle stories; and a one hour written exam testing current sporting knowledge and sports public affairs issues.
