Baseball, Blogging and Beat Reporting

TAP into Greater Olean

St. Bonaventure University journalism students discuss “Baseball, Blogging and Beat Reporting: Using a Spring Training Blog to Teach Journalism Students How to Cover a Beat,” a presentation they made at the Mid-Atantic Popular and American Culture Conference in Philadelphia. Anne and Richard Lee, faculty members in the university’s Jandoli School of Communication and the co-editors of TAPinto Greater Olean, use the blog in their classes as a tool to teach students how to cover a beat. The four students taking part in the podcast – Kelly Haberstroh, M.K. Killen, Lucas Sperduti and Jordan Vollmer – all worked on the blog in the Lees’ classes.
