Learn to Tell Stories in the World of Sports

To tell the story successfully, you must deeply understand your target audience, master the blend of statistical and personal information, and quickly communicate the most relevant stories in a captivating manner. Fine-tune your talents on location and behind the scenes and practice live broadcast interviews, color commentary, and play-by-play analysis.

Career paths could include working as a sports reporter, an in-game announcer, or other broadcasting capacities. If you prefer to work behind the scenes, roles such as a writer, analyst, digital journalist, or audio/video technician are common and key to production. Build your future with your love of sports and storytelling through a Bachelor of Arts in Digital Media with a concentration in sports at NGU.
