Andrew Mishler, Sports Editor for
Ball State University’s Daily News is headed to London to cover the Olympic
games. First though he made a stop at BSU’s Journalism Workshop to talk to the
sports journalism class and pass some tips onto them as they advance in their
writing careers.
As Mishler wrote several insightful
tips on the board one he emphasized over and over the importance of asking
questions. The class certainly followed that advice as they fired away with
question after question as they picked his brain for everything they could.
Owen Fletcher, a member of the
sports journalism class said, “It really got us into the web to broadcast our
work and our personas because a lot of us weren’t using the web to its full
potential.” Rod Satterthwaite,
the teacher for the class also had some thoughts to pitch in on Mishler’s
advice. He said that the presentation has helped the class to find the story
behind the story, which in turn will make their own stories more interesting.
With Mishler’s know-how now in
their brains, the students have the knowledge to do big things; now they just
need to make them happen.
