Description

ESPN is currently celebrating 25 years of sports coverage and reporting. ESPN has constantly shown the creativity, innovation and quality needed to excel in a fast changing world. We live in a culture obsessed with sports. Since September 7,1979 ESPN has had their thumb on the pulse of the sporting industry and has fundamentally changed the culture of American sporting life ever since. By taking a critical and humorous approach, my presentation will examine SportsCenter, the economical impacts that ESPN has on the sporting world and ESPN's cultural contribution to American life. Overall, my presentation will achieve a better understanding of mediated sports coverage and ESPN's role in this coverage.
