JRN573DE - Sports Literature: Week Two Lecture
Here is the lecture for Week Two of JRN 573DE - Sports Literature. Please review the lecture before proceeding with the weekly reading assignments.
JRN 573DE - Lecture: Week Three
This document summarizes the third week of readings in a sports literature course. It discusses how 19th century writers originated the concept of the popular sports hero by creating legends of frontier figures like Davy Crockett. As sports became commercialized in the late 19th century, writers like Ring Lardner presented a more realistic portrayal of athletes while still retaining their heroic status. The emergence of popular sports heroes through literature helped unite a diverse American society and demonstrated the power of media to shape public perception of sports.
JRN573DE - Sports Literature: Week Seven Lecture
This class discusses the three types of sports heroes identified by Messenger - the Ritual, School, and Popular Sports Hero - and how they have evolved into the modern era. It notes that while the Ritual and School Sports Heroes are now limited, the Popular Sports Hero persists due to the commercialization and spectacle of modern sports, amplified by media. It concludes by discussing how sports literature in publications like The New Yorker reflects these enduring types of sports figures.
JRN 573DE - Lecture: Week Twelve
This document summarizes the final week of readings for a sports literature course. It discusses seven articles from The Only Game in Town anthology that focus on unconventional sports like swimming with sharks, catching a ball in the stands, snowmobiling, and horse breeding. The instructor notes that these stories demonstrate the value of fresh perspectives in sports writing and that fans enjoy long-form storytelling, not just statistics. Students are expected to read and analyze the seven articles assigned for this last week of class.
JRN 573DE - Lecture: Week Thirteen
This week the class will examine the film North Dallas Forty, based on the 1973 novel by Pete Gent about his career as a wide receiver in the NFL. The final paper for the course is due. Gent's novel was one of the first works of sports literature to realistically portray the personal lives and struggles of professional athletes. While not a classic, the 1979 film adaptation effectively depicted the physical toll and internal tensions experienced by NFL players.
JRN 573DE - Sports Literature: Week Eleven Lecture
This week's reading for the JRN 573 - Sports Literature class focuses on stories from The Only Game in Town that examine sports from a deeper, more human perspective. The stories discuss topics like juiced baseballs in the 1920s, Irish golf courses, tennis personalities, knuckleballs in baseball, and football plays. They provide examples of literary sports writing that reveal the human side of sports compared to more analytical, stats-based approaches today. The readings include works by Ring Lardner, Herbert Warren Wind, Martin Amis, Ben McGrath, and Don DeLillo.
JRN573DE - Lecture Six
This week's class focuses on comparing two literary works about fictional college athletes - Frank Merriwell at Yale from 1903 and F. Scott Fitzgerald's 1928 short story "The Bowl". Merriwell represents the traditional "School Sports Hero" who overcomes obstacles through hard work and grace. Harlan in "The Bowl" starts as this type of hero but comes to live purely in the moment, disregarding his future, representing a new modern sports hero archetype. The heroes in sports literature evolved from traditional to modern models over the early 20th century, reflecting changes in American culture and society.
JRN 572 - Lecture 14

An effective script provides structure for flexibility as research continues and facts emerge. The script acts as scaffolding to build the documentary, as it is easier to sculpt a story from scripted material than unstructured footage. The scripting process involves ongoing revision as weaknesses emerge across acts. Research and script writing occur simultaneously, and new information may change story elements or reveal a stronger opening/ending. An effective script has a beginning, middle, and end and focuses on character, conflict, and change.
JRN 572DE - Lecture 10
This document provides guidance on developing an outline for a news documentary. It discusses transitioning from the treatment phase to creating a concrete outline that sorts research and interviews into identifiable acts and scenes. An example documentary and its treatment, outline, and script are provided to demonstrate the progression from outline to finished work.

Evaluation of research and planning 2
This document evaluates the research and planning done for a documentary film project across several blog posts. It provides pros and cons for each blog post's research. The early posts show good initial research through interviewing experts and applying their advice, but lack response and analysis of the information. Later posts demonstrate strong research into narrative theories but may rely too heavily on specific theorists. The final post discussed planning ideas but lacked evidence of the underlying research supporting them. Overall, the research showed potential but response and in-depth analysis of sources was often missing.

JRN 362 - Lecture Twenty-Three (Epilogue)
This document provides a historical overview of how football has evolved over the decades from the 1840s to the present. It discusses changes in the sport for players of different ages, such as the introduction of the forward pass and increased professionalization. The summary also notes how football has become more inclusive of Black players, women, and LGBTQ people. However, it comments that further progress is still needed in coaching diversity. The document concludes by discussing how football continues to be a source of community and tradition in American culture.
JRN 362 - Lecture Twenty-Two
This document summarizes a lecture about the history and evolution of American football. It discusses how football originated in the late 19th century at elite universities and grew tremendously in popularity over the following decades. Key figures like Knute Rockne helped spread the game. The sport faced criticism over violence and injuries but adapted rules while maintaining widespread fan interest. In modern times, the game continues to grapple with the physical toll it takes on players' health and concerns over associated risks like binge drinking.
JRN 362 - Lecture Twenty
This document discusses the evolution of football in the late 20th century. It describes how the NFL continued to grow in popularity in the 1990s and experiments with new offensive schemes. It also covers how college football saw changes like freshman eligibility and scholarship rules. Specifically, it outlines how Howard Schnellenberger transformed Miami's program in the 1980s to focus on local recruiting and a pro-style offense. This helped launch Miami as a dynasty under Schnellenberger and later Jimmy Johnson. It also describes how the run and shoot offense was pioneered at schools like Houston behind coaches like Mouse Davis and Andre Ware.
JRN 362 - Lecture Twenty-Three (Epilogue)
This document summarizes how the game of football has evolved over time from the 1840s to the present day. It discusses changes in rules, player demographics, coaching demographics, the rise of analytics, and the growing participation of women and girls in flag football. While issues around diversity in coaching still remain, the document highlights progress that has been made and how the 10-year old today would see a much more inclusive version of the sport compared to generations past.
JRN 362 - Lecture Twenty-One
This lecture discusses how college and NFL football offenses have evolved over the past few decades to focus more on passing and scoring points. Spread offenses like the run-and-shoot and air raid have been adopted and refined. Rule changes and advances in turf and facilities have also enabled higher scoring. Fantasy football became hugely popular online, driving more viewership. NFL teams have also increasingly relocated and conferences realigned for financial reasons.

JRN 589 - College Sports & Gambling
The document discusses the issue of college sports sponsorships with online sports gambling companies. It notes that while such deals provide revenue for athletic departments, they present moral dilemmas around exploiting and harming students. Some universities have modified or ended sponsorship deals after public backlash over targeting students with promotional codes and access to personal information. Politicians have also expressed concerns that colleges are not adequately supporting students who may develop gambling addictions. The gaming industry argues alumni sponsorships are acceptable but their self-imposed code of conduct on college partnerships is not enforceable.
JRN 589 - Colleges & Gambling
Here is the presentation that accompanied the lecture on sportsbook sponsorships of collegiate sports.
JRN 589 - Concussions II / Female Athletes
Female athletes have been underrepresented in concussion studies, with some studies including no female participants. As a result, concussion protocols and treatment have largely focused on male athletes and may not adequately address the needs of female athletes. Several recent studies found that females have higher concussion rates than males in some sports, experience more severe symptoms, and have worse outcomes. However, females remain an understudied population. Including more female athletes in concussion research is needed to develop gender-specific guidelines and improve treatment for all athletes.
JRN 589 - Concussions
Concussions have been documented in football since the 19th century, but it was not until 1994 that the NFL began taking them seriously by forming a committee to study their causes and effects. Studies from the late 19th century onwards found high concussion rates in football players and warnings of long term neurological consequences. However, the game continued without warnings until lawsuits in the 2010s forced acknowledgement of the link to chronic traumatic encephalopathy. Modern players are larger and faster, but rule changes aim to reduce head impacts despite 99% of examined NFL player brains showing signs of CTE.
JRN 589 - Brian Flores and Eric BIeniemy
- Brian Flores sued the NFL in 2022 for racial discrimination in its hiring practices of Black head coaches. A judge ruled Flores' case against the Broncos, Giants, and Texans can proceed to trial, as he alleges they conducted "sham interviews" under the Rooney Rule.
- The Rooney Rule requires teams to interview minority candidates for head coaching and front office positions, but Flores argues it has not worked as intended and teams still discriminate.
- Eric Bieniemy, the Chiefs' offensive coordinator, continues to be passed over for head coaching jobs despite his success, like previous white coordinators under Andy Reid receiving roles. A study found Black coordinators face disadvantages in the attributes historically
JRN 589 - Black Coaches
Here is the presentation that accompanied the lecture on the history of segregation in the NFL and college football to serve as background to the sequence on Black coaches in the NFL and college football.
JRN 589 - The Triumph of NIL / The NCAA Strikes Back
The document summarizes the legal case of Ed O'Bannon vs the NCAA regarding the use of college athletes' names, images, and likenesses in video games and other media without compensation. O'Bannon, a former UCLA basketball player, filed a lawsuit in 2009 arguing this violated antitrust laws. The case established that NCAA compensation rules were an illegal restraint of trade. It paved the way for athletes to be paid for NIL rights, though the full implications were not realized until Justice Kavanaugh's concurring opinion in 2021 further questioned the NCAA's definition of amateurism. The case eliminated the fiction of amateurism in college sports.
JRN 589 - The Myth of Amateurism
The document discusses the origins and evolution of the concept of amateurism in sports. It traces how British historians in the 18th-19th centuries misinterpreted and fictionalized accounts of amateurism in ancient Greek athletics for political and class-related reasons. This myth of Greek amateurism was then propagated through works like Tom Brown's Schooldays and influenced the founding of the modern Olympic Games with their focus on amateurism. Key figures like Walter Camp and Pierre de Coubertin helped spread this myth in America and further shape the ideology of amateurism in sport, despite it having little basis in the actual practices of ancient Greek athletes.
JRN 362 - Lecture Twenty-Three (Epilogue)
This document summarizes how the game of football has evolved over time from the 1840s to the present day. It discusses changes in rules, player demographics, the growth of analytics, and the increasing involvement of women and minorities. While the basic elements of carrying an air-filled bladder across a line remain the same, football continues to reflect the broader social and cultural changes happening in America.
JRN 362 - Lecture Twenty-Two
This document summarizes the history and evolution of football in the United States. It discusses how football originated at Harvard in the late 1800s and grew tremendously in popularity through the early 1900s. It became firmly established as a national tradition and pastime. The document also notes how the sport has changed over time through rule modifications to improve safety as well as the diminished but still important roles of kicking in modern football.
JRN 362 - Lecture Twenty-One
This lecture discusses how football has evolved on and off the field over the last few decades. Off the field, both college and pro football have adapted to technological changes to make the game more popular on TV. On the field, spread offenses like the run-and-shoot and air raid have led to explosive increases in scoring. Conference realignments and the creation of a playoff system have also changed the structure of college football. Fantasy football has hugely grown the audience for the NFL by incentivizing fans to watch more games.
JRN 450 - Solutions
This document discusses various proposed solutions to disinformation and their flaws. It outlines four main solutions: media literacy, content moderation, prebunking, and truth sandwiches. For each solution, it notes limitations such as the difficulty of teaching critical thinking, biases in content moderation, and how disinformation operators exploit journalistic standards of balance. The conclusion states that while no solution is perfect, the goal should be finding approaches that are good enough to contain disinformation without needing to be perfect.

JRN 572DE - Lecture Thirteen
- 1. JRN 572 - Researching & Writing the News Documentary Rich Hanley, Associate Professor Lecture Thirteen
- 2. JRN 572 - News Documentary Overview: • This week we move to the third act of your script. • Again, the expectation at the end of this final phase of the course is not a fully realized shooting script, with transcribed interviews in place.
- 3. JRN 572 - News Documentary Overview: • As noted, what you want to show at the end of the semester is a clear storyline, from start to finish. • In short, the outcome of the draft script at the end ought to be this: • “I have a story, and here’s the evidence of that in script form.”
- 4. JRN 572 - News Documentary Overview: • The written draft will show the story but details may shift as the recording commences and new facts come to light. • We aren’t making a documentary for this class in terms of production but you need to show the elements of story.
- 5. JRN 572 - News Documentary Overview: • As noted earlier this semester, research continues into a story until the documentary is locked. • For this class, the script ought to be worked on – including research - until the deadline as posted on Blackboard.
- 6. JRN 572 - News Documentary The Script: • Some students are pursuing a fly-on- the-wall documentary and don’t know how to write a script for that process. • As the BBC producer noted in Lecture Twelve, the key is preparation, as noted in the following quote from a BBC panel on the subject:
- 7. JRN 572 - News Documentary The Script: • “After all, documentaries are all about storytelling and scripting in the beginning will give you a good plan, allowing you to work out the shots you want … being prepared while allowing for some flexibility can bring your story together and keep the production on track.”
- 8. JRN 572 - News Documentary The Script: • Students ought to pre-interview the people who they will follow if a production occurs. • Questions about why they do what they do, when they came to doing it, and so on ought to be addressed in the pre-interview. When the cameras roll, they can repeat those responses.
- 9. JRN 572 - News Documentary The Script: • If you go into a documentary and think that the story will unfold in front of you without such preparation, you will be in for a surprise, as the BBC taught us in Lecture Twelve. • Thus, the info – the answers to basic questions – ought to be in the draft script .
- 10. JRN 572 - News Documentary The Script: • Otherwise, you can’t possibly know whether you have a story worth telling. • As noted, the draft script is the scaffolding or infrastructure on which factual films are built.
- 11. JRN 572 - News Documentary The Script: • Another issue that emerges in the process is based on a concern that people won’t return messages. • Get used to it. Persistence is part of the skill set required to make documentaries. Keep pressing.
- 12. JRN 572 - News Documentary The Script: • To the issue that potential interview prospects won’t respond because it’s not a “real” documentary, note the following: most documentary ideas outside of college never get produced or are turned into the work of hobbyists, not professionals.
- 13. JRN 572 - News Documentary The Script: • Again, persistence is the key. • If you don’t show persistence or cultivate it for a class, you can’t possibly work in this field because “no” is the most common answer to everything, from funding to interviews.
- 14. JRN 572 - News Documentary The Script: • Again, it’s important to note once more that the process of scripting is actually one of revision. • In other words, the composition of act three means that acts one and two ought to be revised as weaknesses emerge in the narrative and so forth.
