Hey, I just finished the 'Sports Journalism' course at Stanmore School of Business and I'm really happy with what I learned! The course covered a lot of ground, from the basics of sports writing to more advanced topics like broadcast journalism and social media management. I liked that the instructors used real-life examples to illustrate key concepts, and the assignments were pretty cool too. I got to write profiles of athletes, cover virtual sporting events, and even create my own sports podcast. The course materials were mostly good, although some of the readings were a bit dry. Overall, I think this course is a great starting point for anyone interested in sports journalism, and I'm looking forward to applying my new skills in the field.

The 'Sports Journalism' course at Stanmore School of Business was a thoroughly enjoyable and informative experience. As a detail-oriented person, I appreciated the comprehensive approach the course took to covering the fundamentals of sports journalism. The instructors were knowledgeable and provided constructive feedback on our assignments. I found the course materials to be of high quality, with a good balance of theoretical and practical knowledge. One aspect that particularly stood out to me was the focus on the business side of sports journalism, including topics like sponsorship, marketing, and media rights. This gave me a more nuanced understanding of the industry and its various stakeholders. While there were some areas where I felt the course could be improved, overall I was satisfied with my learning experience and would recommend this course to others interested in sports journalism.
