  2. Question 5: How has sports journalism developed throughout the years of its existence? • The time period between World War One and The Great Depression is known as the Golden Age of Sports and Sports Journalism. (Smith) • “…there really are no absolutes in sport, and those athletes have never been as skillful as they are now. This has made the U.S. appetite for sport insatiable and the market tremendous.” (Smith) • Sports journalists were laughed at for not having a serious profession in the 1920s, and now the writers have developed sports journalism into a multi-million dollar industry (Mcquillen)

  3. Question 6: What methods do sports journalists use to gather information and convey it to their readers? • “From the Internet, newspapers, radio and television to the movies and magazines, content is vast and packed with heart racing photos and videos of games, plays, moments, and victories and losses.”(Mcquillen) • Most sports writers will either conduct interviews or just go to the sporting events they are covering to write an article about the event they are covering. (Kindred)

  4. Question 7: What are key methods and facts that every sports journalist should know in order to attract readers? • Writers use short, catchy headlines to get people to read their articles • Writers tend to use analogies and make funny or sarcastic comments in their columns to entertain people but still • “…Charlie Sheen was still married, Barack Obama was thinking about running for president, Nicole Kidman's face could still move, and I was calling the NBA ‘The No Balls Association.’ Nobody wanted to trade. General managers would rather stand pat than make a move and get raked over the coals. Self-preservation trumped everything else.”(Simmons) • In Denver, our hearts are as black as Johnny Cash's closet, our eyes mere lumps of coal. We are the emptiest thing fans can be: an NBA city without an NBA superstar. Don't laugh. You could be next.” (Reilly)
