Hands-on Learning at the U: Sports Reporting

By UM Admission

Professor Kaufman prefers to call her Sports Reporting class at the School of Communication an internship. This hands-on course takes advantage of Miami’s major sports markets and allows students to hit the ground running, giving them firsthand experience in sports reporting for print, broadcast, and digital outlets. With press badges in hand, their phones on recorder mode, and direct access to professional athletes, Professor Kaufman’s students are no different than the professional sports journalists standing next to them during a pre- or post-game press conference.
