UK: Journalism Leaders Forum examines end of sports reporting

Posted by Jean Yves Chainon on January 29, 2008 at 10:43 AM

The 8th Journalism Leaders Forum, organized by the University of Central Lancashire in Preston, is beginning today with a panel discussion and webinar on the theme “Spoiled Sports: will the digital media finish off sports reporting as a credible form of journalism?”

Many sports journalists are facing a growing challenge as sports organizations, which now often have their own media platforms and an increasing amount of influence, seek to dictate coverage about events, sometimes without involving the traditional journalist at all.

Speakers will include BBC Sports Editor Mihir Bose and Phil Townsend, Director of Communications for Manchester United.

The event is free and webcast live. More information below.
