Sports and Multimedia Journalism

"I think that is something that can really separate one journalist from another, is being a good storyteller, and that is something I learned within the COSJ program at Springfield College. I feel prepared covering events like the Olympics and I still use so much of what I learned from the program in my career.”

"I think the Spirit, Mind, and Body philosophy at Springfield has really stuck with me in my personal and professional life. Sometimes getting elements for a story is kind of like solving a puzzle. I feel motivated when I get a challenge like that. And it motivates me to know the stories I research impact a lot of people. It's important to get it right, and I don't take that responsibility lightly."

"The communications/sports journalism program at Springfield College prepared me so much for my career after graduation. The support of the faculty within the program allowed me to gain the skills and knowledge I would need when getting into the professional setting. The experiences I gained as editor-in-chief of the College newspaper, working events like the Hoophall Classic, and getting the support in the classroom from my peers and faculty, all assisted me in being prepared to take advantage of the opportunities that have been presented to me. The Springfield College experience made me ready to be successful in the workforce."

“Springfield taught me the foundations of journalism and quickly gave me opportunities to apply that through the various campus media outlets. The College also taught me it was OK to make mistakes. When The New York Times assigned me to cover The Westminster Dog Show and the Super Bowl, I felt prepared because of what I learned at Springfield.”

Our Sport Journalism students weren’t just watching history unfold. They were telling it. From live broadcasting and sideline reporting to writing game stories and producing a three-part podcast series, they were fully immersed in real, high-stakes coverage of a national championship.
