It's in the Syllabus: What Sport Media Instructors Communicate to Students

Journalism and Mass Communication Educator, v80 n1 p70-81 2025
Due to the prosperity of sports and continued growth of sports media, colleges and universities are offering an increasing number of courses and majors related to the sports media industry. Via a systematic analysis of 76 syllabi from courses under the sports media umbrella at 30 colleges and universities, this study reveals what is being communicated to students. It also scrutinizes how diversity, equity, and inclusion--related topics are incorporated into sports media course syllabi. Findings include three broad themes across all courses' descriptions and calendars: targeted skill-based approaches, current events/trends, and experiential learning. Limitations and future implications are also discussed.
