Sports is news. Beyond the 24-hour dedicated networks, stories about athletes, coaches, fans, stadiums, concessions, marketing, business deals – they all grab headlines, lead national newscasts and impact communities. Join AAJA's strong group of sports journalists, who have written, produced and reported some of the biggest stories in the past year as they take their collective interest to a new level. You are cordially invited to the inaugural AAJA Sports Task Force meeting to share ideas on how we can shine the spotlight on sports journalism. You can play a larger role in mentoring up-and-coming journalists, raising money for scholarships and supporting the AAJA community as a whole. Please join us with your ideas and enthusiasm! You do not have to be a sports–focused journalist to get involved. Remember: sports is news. Sponsored by ESPN
