SPORTS MEDIA CAREERS 1

Abstract

Sports media job opportunities are all over but the statistics for these jobs are less common. At

times, when taking employment numbers, one must focus journalism instead of sports journalism

or broadcast journalism with a sports focus. Another thing to take into account is how diverse the

sports media field is. With technology creating new ways for consumers to receive information,

many new options have been created in this job field. Sports journalism has expanded to

podcasting, blogging, and content creation on apps like TikTok or Instagram. These unique

occupations are not easy for career indexes to document. There are more opportunities than what

is shown in the data. It is important for people seeking occupations in this field to remember that

finding the information needed will require flexibility.

Keywords: occupations, journalism, media
