LOL, How to be a sports Journalist

Lol.

Swear da god??

 

stalker

 

Good luck pursuiting. I didn't think DeVry had a degree for that.

 

LOL

hmm.. The first thing he should do is learn how to spell correctly, avoid typos, and learn the proper use of grammar.

 

Journalism was my first major in HCC but after the fist semester I was over it.

 

Spellcheck probably would have been a good idea.

 

He wants to be an entire field of study? That's going to be tough.

So were you in high school at the time you posted that question, GlenRice?

 

yes, I dropped out of high school but finished it online a year latter.

 

Good grief.

 

I think GlenRice is playing us our for fools. He's probably a young guy with a Master's making hundreds of thousands a dollars a year who gets his kicks going online and misspelling words so that people think he is a dropout who went to Devry, had gay sex with his professor, and sold used hair gel.

I bet he's not even Persian.

 

As a guy who has a degree in Broadcast journalism with an emphasis in sports it is not that great of a career.

The money sucks, and you end up reporting on others accomplisments instead of doing anything yourself.

I eventually turned down a sports anchor position because it was just not going to pay enough, and never looked back.

Sportscasting is overated, unless you get to the big time, like ESPN etc.

And Sports journalists don't get paid dinky doo !

One more thing, you learn too much about the players, the managers, and their flaws, and it is a lot less fun being a fan.

I covered the Spurs for KSAT 12 when Larry Brown was there....and I learned all kinds of stuff about him, which is why I can not stand the guy.

what? thats how you spell "latter". Right? Or is it 1 "L". Nope pretty sure it's 2.

 

You are write.

 

So it wasn't poor spelling, just poor diction choice.

 

Say what you will, but his English has actually come a long way.

 

I'm still hung up on that used hair gel thread. GlenRice you're a character, I'm glad you post on clutchfans.

 

Persian on Persian crime perhaps ?.....

or am i mistaken here ?

 

GlenRice, don't give up writing just yet.

My bachelor's was in journalism, and it was actually a good career choice. I worked for the Denver Post as an editor and guest writer for the sports section.

The only reason I pursued my master's degree was because I became obsessed with the job. You wouldn't know it on here, but I am a masochist when it comes to grammar, spelling and the AP Stylebook, or in earlier years, my bible.

I remember waking up night after night with constant worry that I misplaced a comma or needed to modify a sentence for a writer that exaggerated too much.

Eventually, I decided to become a teacher and I haven't looked back. I'm working on publishing my first book, but this time, on my own schedule.

If you can handle a constant deadline and the rigor of professional journalism, go for it. You can fix your grammar with time.
