Viva Las Vegas

Just found out today that the JSM panel has been approved for next spring's BEA convention in Las Vegas. In all, 12 sports-related panels will be on the schedule, which means there is a great opportunity to learn about sports scholarship. Congratulations to the BEA Sports Division in general, and to Ken Fischer at Oklahoma, who was the one who put together the JSM panel.

We'll have four recent JSM authors discussing their research, so I hope you can attend. Some of the other panels will focus on the effect of Tweeting on sports media and journalism, college broadcast sports partnerships, student sports producing, convergence and training sports journalists, and creating a successful partnership between sports journalism instructors and media professionals. These are not all the topics, but I'll post the link when it gets published.
