Have a great summer!
We all need a break. Turn off Zoom. Get up and get out. If you’re off doing an internship – learn, network and grow. If you graduated and off to your first job – learn, network and grow. If you’re looking for a job, or spending the summer working elsewhere – learn, network and grow….
The future is…NOW!
So the long winter is finally over. But we’re all still struggling with COVID and all of the ripples from the pandemic in our academic and personal lives. First – it’s OK to not be OK. We are all more than a year into the abnormal, so if you don’t feel totally confident….welcome to the…
WE ARE BACK!
Yes, yes, yes! Classes may be online, and a lot of us are all around Michigan and the country…but MSU Sports JRN is back in effect for 2020-21 school year. What YOU can do to get involved: Network: talk to Profs. Gerstner and Dickerson about tapping into MSU Sports JRN’s huge network of amazing alumni….
To our 2020 grads…LOVE

We have a change in programming…(no kidding)
Hey Sports JRN family… So you’re home. You’re doing classes online. Sports are canceled. You’re wondering what’s next. We know. But we’re here to tell you that the world will come back online, sports will be played (hopefully soon), and we will all get back to the things we love in sports journalism. In the…
MAKING BTNu HISTORY
Michigan State Sports JRN students set a new standard over the Feb. 21-22 weekend, by becoming the first Big Ten students to do live sportscasts AND live in-studio interviews during Big Ten Network sports broadcasts. The Spartan Sports Report – in partnership with MSU’s Big Ten Student U – went live from the Spartan Newsroom…
Oh hey, it’s August…time to plan ahead for the FUTURE
Yeah, we know. Summer went fast. Hopefully you filled it with some fun, some work, some networking, and some making you the best you can be. Putting some mental Sports JRN post-its up so you can plan ahead; YES – there will be a Sports JRN Education Abroad class to Paris and Rome in summer…
Time to think about 2019-20!
(No, really!) We’re not trying to speed up time, but it is time to register for classes for next school year. So we wanted to drop a little thought on you: the Sports Journalism Education Abroad class to Paris and Rome is a GO for Summer 2020. Which means, if you are an MSU student,…

Seven MSU Sports Journalism students, plus former NBA beat writer/Prof. Joanne Gerstner, went through pre-game interviews; met with Detroit Free Press beat writer…
