Sports Journalists’ Influence on Sports
[ send me this paper ]
A 4 page paper assessing the statement, “Sports journalists don’t just write about sport, they define it.” Superficially, there seems to be nothing wrong with this statement, as it appears to reflect the concept of “full, fair and complete” reporting that is the hallmark of journalistic principle. In reality, however, there are myriad ways in which this journalistic vehicle can be driven in the ditch. The paper uses the *Dallas Morning News* purchase of an interest in the Dallas Mavericks as example. Much of the job of the sports writer is to offer analysis, which invites the introduction of bias and personal preference. The sports journalist does indeed walk a fine line, for s/he does have the effect of defining sport. Bibliography lists 1 source.

gives. This paper considers the content and truth about what is
between the covers of Stuff Magazine. Bibliography lists 4
sources.

Summary
[ send me this paper ]
3 pages in length. Mass media have metamorphosed from a collection of individuals focused upon accurately gathering and reporting society and the world's goings-on to a splintered faction of journalists whose only desire is to trump the next reporter by scooping the story under any incorrect and/or unethical means. This transformation has cost the once-respected journalism trade a hefty price in terms of its reputation; the public has become wary of what it reads, hears and sees with the advent of sensationalized reporting. War coverage is a particularly delicate area where a given journalist's personal agenda, sloppy fact-finding and pressure to produce routinely skew the truth. No bibliography.
