Preferred term

sportswriters  

Definition

  • While sports coverage is often called “the toy department” in many newsrooms, sportswriting is fiercely competitive, difficult to succeed at, and harder yet to sustain. Sportswriters must pay attention to detail like a copy editor, analyze events like a political reporter, dig into some stories like an investigative journalist, work under tight deadlines like a cops reporter, and, ideally, write like a poet.
