The document outlines the agenda for a sport public relations lecture, including drafting a personal bio, discussing the influence of media on sports fans, building the front page of a sports section newspaper, presenting an Oskar Blues pitch, and having a speed writing night to sharpen writing skills. New communications models are also examined, comparing traditional newspapers to modern websites and mobile/social media that allow for 24/7 updates and real-time reader comments. Key media outlets for sports sections are listed.

2. Determine why menu-driven interfaces continue to be popular in the modern computing age.
3. Suggest at least three (3) strategies for making menu-driven interfaces visually appealing in the modern computing environment.
4. Suggest alternatives for menu-driven interface design and explain how these alternatives can be designed to eventually replace all menu-driven interfaces.
5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites do not qualify as quality resources.
Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:
. Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides; citations and references must follow APA or school-specific format. Check with your professor for any additional instructions.
. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.
