Sports Journalism

Sport journalism is a form of journalism that reports on sports topics and events. Sports journalism is an essential element of any news media organization. Sports journalism includes organizations devoted entirely to sports reporting — newspaper such as L'Eqipue in France, La Gazzeta dello sport in Italy, Marca in Spain, Sportski Zurnal in Serbia and the defunct Sporting Life in Britain, all-sports talk radio stations, and television networks such as Eurosport, ESPN and  The Sports Network (TSN).

Yesterday, I wanted to see, how does it looks like, be a sports reporter. So, I woke up early in the morning, and I went to see a match between Marmi Bucci contro Real Zero, a match of the Milano Campionato Aziendale (very very amateur league). It was very cold morning, 1° Celzius, so I dressed up a very warm things. Despite it, I was freezing. I was staying in one place, the only one from where I could shoot some photos. Can you imagine how does look like a football match between two teams from the village where was born your grandmother? It was like that. Except a lot of rough interventions, bad actions and players laying down on the ground, I can't tell you nothing special. But, there are two very important and great things in this match: SPORTS SPIRIT AND WILL TO WIN, despite the fact that those players don't earn a money because they play football. They play it with a pure love, and that's the point of this game. Anyway, Real Zero has won 3-1. After the match, I went home to take a cup of tea, just to warm up a little bit, before an upcoming sports event: the match between Inter Milan and Novara at Giuseppe Meazza Stadium. Again the same thing. Sitting on my seat with a camera on, freezing and waiting for a good chance, some exhibition, great dribble, shoots... You know, the things you can see, watching the professional players on the TV, lying comfortable in your favorite armchair, eating "Pringles" and drinking beer...lot of beers. But nothing like that, even close. And the sadness thing is, that the match I was watching, was a match of Seria A, considered on of the best league in the world. And that players, they earn a money (we will not talk about the sum,you know it), and they are considered as a professionals?? The only deference between this two mentioned matches was that for the second one, I payed 37€ to see it, nothing else. Inter lost 0-1, with a goal of Caracciolo in 56th minute. The supporters were disappointed, and in one moment, all the stadium started to sing: "Go to work bastards". Nice one.
Enjoy my independent sports report production.
