Chapter 6 dives into the story-telling aspect of sports journalism. It’s important to keep in mind that as a sports journalist, you are not just reporting, you are telling a story. Something that draws readers in is conflict. For example, two past rivals reuniting to verse each other once again. The author states, “ten best things about being a reporter”. Some of these things were surprising to hear, others not so much. What really shocked me to my core was that attention deficit disorder can be beneficial as a journalist. There are so many cool benefits to being a reporter, networking being a big one. Also the fact that you don’t need much of a qualification. It’s pretty easy to become a journalist, a good one at that. It’s crucial that you have good time management aside from the fact that you will be running around to do your job. It is proven that readers are more interested in proximity. They are more likely to take to a story relevant to something happening down the street than a stadium tour. A piece of advice I picked up on is to never start a story with a question. In fact, typically you should leave a question out of a story. When using a quote, it will almost always be self explanatory.
