A Reporter’s Guide to Sports and Olympics reporting

07.04.2008

 

A Reporter’s Guide to Sports and Olympics reporting is written by Colin McIntyre with contributions from Reuters reporters and former Reuters Sports Editor Steve Parry, who has covered 19 Olympic Games. They guide you through the preparations that will help you, give you an idea of what to expect at the event, warn you of pitfalls, and encourage you to raise your own game as a journalist.

The handbook’s goal has been to cover the wider picture too, by going beyond the Olympics and providing guidance on covering sport in general. There are plenty of useful pointers plus information about websites where additional detail on a variety of sports can be found.

Money raised by the sale of the books supports the work of the foundation, which provides training for journalists, particularly those from developing countries.

Competition for Student Journalists

30.10.2007

 

Writing About Refugees: A Competition for Student Journalists

Across Europe the migration debate is now front-page news.  On an almost daily basis pictures and articles are published focusing on the numbers of asylum seekers seeking refuge.  Not all the information given about these individuals is true.  What is true is that access to European asylum procedures is getting more and more difficult.  Border fences are higher, patrols on the Mediterranean Sea have been intensified and officials at airports and ports prevent individuals leaving their country of origin. 

The Jesuit Refugee Service is inviting aspiring journalists to investigate the reality behind the headlines by asking students across Europe to write an article on the theme.
