Hot Topics Replay

If you missed the AEJMC Hot Topics discussion today on "Sports & Social Media," you can view a replay of the chat here. It was an interesting hour of discussion featuring dozens of panelists, contributors and those interested in the sports media. I'm not sure we came to any conclusions, but at this point the important thing is to keep asking the questions.

Also wanted to pass along something from JSM board member John Carvalho of Auburn. John graciously passed along a link to this story from former NBC sports boss Don Ohlmeyer, who is an an ombudsman for ESPN. (Does everyone now work for ESPN?) It's another response to the LeBron James "Decision" that aired a couple of weeks ago. But Ohlmeyer does not take the company line and raises some interesting points about sports journalism ethics. A worthwhile read, and something that could have application in the classroom.
