Sports Journalists Discuss Changing Coverage

If you were sports media commissioner for one day...

Sports Illustrated has published an interesting discussion on the role of media in sports. The magazine asked a bunch of journalists—like ESPN’s Jemele Hill and Steve Levy—what one thing they’d change about sports media if they could. Below are some of the more interesting answers, but the entire piece is worth reading.

Hill:

I would banish the mean-spiritedness. I know it’s a pretty Pollyanna request, but I think back to how things were when I first entered in this business and the way we treated one another, and I am stunned at how dramatically things have changed.

Levy:

How about eliminating the mandatory ‘cool down’ period in professional sports locker rooms? I’ll give college athletes the pass.
