Preferred term

sports journalism  

Definition(s)

  • Throughout history, sports have been an occupation for some members of the leisure class, a restorative or leg up for some members of the working class, and an entertaining spectacle for many people in both classes. In parallel, sports journalism began as a means to chronicle the recreational pursuits of the leisure class, and while there are still magazines on yachting and fly fishing, sportswriting has expanded along with the leisure time and income of the working class to focus primarily on professional sports and their feeder leagues.
