Welcome to a blog hosted by the Journal of Sports Media. JSM is an academic journal published annually by the University of Nebraska Press and the University of Mississippi Department of Journalism. It focuses on sports media in terms of specific media (print, broadcast, Internet, advertising, etc.) or a specific area of interest related to sports media (history, law, ethics, effects, etc.). JSM publishes academic research which adds to the understanding of sports media in terms of their practice, value and effect on the culture as a whole.

All are invited to participate in this discussion, but please keep in mind that it is intended for academic discussion of sports media issues. Postings should be thoughtful and intelligent, and above all, clean. If you want to rant about your favorite team, please take it somewhere else!

For more information about the Journal of Sports media, you can go to our website. There is also more information available at the University of Nebraska press website, including information on subscriptions.

They're influencing journalism in the sense that the consumer becomes more empowered, and mainstream media have to take that into account. But it also means that, more than ever, journalism educators need to reinforce to their students the importance of good writing, reporting and editing ... especially if many of these students are using YouTube to strike out on their own.
