 Insightful Information on the Field of Sports Journalism May 6, 2005
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
Brad Schultz has done a commendable job on providing direction for people seeking a career in sports journalism. This book is thorough in covering the material. The opening chapters include background on the history of broadcasting itself, while later sections focus more on the theme of the book, sports broadcasting. It concludes with profiles of successful sports journalists who created the paradigm in place today, and the very last chapter takes a look at the future through the eyes of the commissioners of the professional sports leagues.
Schultz's writing style is easy to follow. In fact, he practices what he advocates, i.e., basic writing skills come from effective readers. You can tell from his work that he is well-read. He includes the international, national, and local career options in his discussion. Historically he lists what he considers to be milestones in the development of the profession in the United States. I highly recommend this book. It is well-researched and comprehensive.

Anyone interesting in becoming a sports broadcaster should buy this book. Schultz does an excellent job describing the 'real' workings of sportcasting. He describes both the role of talent along with the vital workings of production. I would highly recommend this book to any broadcast writing professor.
