Do you miss being "between the lines"? Do you miss the thrill of the last second shot? What if you could be a part of the group that makes that moment happen? Do you have a flair for the dramatic and an ability to chronicle it for others enjoyment?

The best sports writers in the world once asked themselves, "Do I have what it takes to work within the sports journalism industry"? Once you review what is available to you, you will see that breaking into sports media is not as impossible as you once though.

The common perception is that the sports media world is contracting but that is not what we are seeing. Certain media channels may struggle but opportunities exist today through television, radio and new media organizations that have never existed before.

Not only that, as you will see below, to ensure that their team is getting coverage, professional sports teams are hiring their own sports media professionals to publish on their behalf as well as manage the traditional media relations departments. This is the best news for aspiring sports media talent.
