There's more to sports journalism than knowing the latest score. The Penn State Institute for Sports Journalism can give you, firsthand, the experience of what it's like to
work in sports journalism. You can learn about writing features, covering games, and keeping statistics, as well as sports photography and broadcasting. The institute will
feature a tour of State College's minor league baseball stadium located on Penn State's campus, where you can also do an interview with the players as research for a feature story.
Penn State, the home of the Center for Sports Journalism, has graduated several nationally known sports journalists, such as Ira Miller, formerly of the San Francisco
Chronicle, Jon Saraceno of USA Today, and Tom Verducci of Sports Illustrated. Throughout the institute you will receive instruction from professional
sportswriters and experienced Penn State faculty.
We are now offering a track designed for students interested in sports photography. We still offer the newspaper track, which focuses on sports reporting. Please select your track preference on the registration form.
