The Career Of Sports Broadcasting
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. Once relegated to the mundane composition of black and white print, the career of sports broadcasting has blossomed into a prestigious, high paying position of contemporary radio and television.

A job in sports media today is not like it was in the 1950s, where the primary task of writing up the game review and publishing it in the next day's paper was about as exciting as it got. Today, the thrill of live television and radio, coupled with the significant technological advancements in this particular media field, have made sports broadcasting a career to covet.

[ send me this paper ]
This 7 page report discusses the issues associated with the fact that baseball is big business. The acrimonious strike by major-league baseball players in 1994 and 1995 dealt the game a terrible blow. But the strike only confirmed what baseball fans already knew. Each new season sees the game�s best players competing for the title of highest-paid athlete. But in terms of the economics of baseball, issues such as salary caps, revenue sharing, and whether or not there is truly a bias in favor of �big money-big market� teams have earned a greater amount of attention than many of the nuances of baseball. This paper examines the fact that there should be a greater level of parity in baseball. Nobody denies that the character and promotion of baseball has changed. This paper looks at issues and solutions regarding those changes and their resolution. Bibliography lists 12 annotated sources and copies of those sources.
