Editor's Notes

  1. Athletic Director and Head Coach : high school, college and NBAHe has been in movies, and written 9 books
  2. where he sells tshirts, podcasts, polls, picks the teams he thinks will win, you can subscribe to a newsletter, donate to a foundation, photo, video, and more.
  3. In 2011 Andrews worked with U.S. Senator Amy Klobuchar to enact a new federal anti-stalking law.
  4. She grew up in New JerseyAttended Penn State and has been doing sports journalism for 20 yearsShe seems to look past the on-court stories of athletes and coaches and report on them as people
  5. Blair Kirk. When he was growing up you spoke on behalf of the newspaper, now you speak on behalf of yourself. She is a board member for the United States Basketball Writers Association
  6. Dick: Dick is basketball and sports crazy. He is not a showboat journalist. He loves sports and fans and wants to promote his involvement with his family, students, with his foundation and the things he believes in. He is professional. He carries his values through his idolation. Erin: Celebrity, shoes etc. Her content reaches further than sports and news and content. She promotes herself rather than her journalistic abilities. She is personable and family oriented. “Have you seen this show/game” etc. Entertainment savvy– DWTS– she wants to finish out her sports career and then move on to entertainment. She leaves her sports analysis at the office. Journalism is a segue (launch pad) for her entertainment career. She exploits her celebrity. Unlike the Kardshians, Erin found a professional way to associate herself with athletes and celebrities. Khloe used her marriage to Lamar to land herself a TV show lolz. She realized her assets and knows what can make money. In Dana’s case, she certainly acknowledges that she is not a “big” media player, nor does she want to beShe wants to be known for her the content and newsworthiness of her stories, not her flashy character and egoI think Dana is a great example of a level headed journalist who keeps the focus on the story, not herselfDave: New to the game, 28-30 years old, on a good track. His professional aspirations are still developing and it is obvious based on his social media involvement. Too soon to say where these aspirations will lead him. We found something different. We sought out to compare the old to the new and found four different types of journalists. Dick Vitale kind of fell into the journalism being a coach and an AD blah blah blah Erin Andrews is Erin Andrews Dana is all business and Dave is new to the game.
