Rich and Anne Lee

(?)

Faculty in the School of Communication

(?)

Journalism faculty members Rich and Anne Lee have had their presentation proposal titled “Baseball, Blogging and Beat Reporting: Using a Spring Training Blog to Teach Journalism Students How to Cover a Beat” for inclusion in the Journalism and News Media area of the 2017 Annual Conference of the Mid-Atlantic Popular & American Culture Association in November. Because of St. Bonaventure's rural location, opportunities to cover local governments, school boards and other traditional news beats are limited.To address this challenge, Anne and Richard Lee use a baseball spring training blog. At the start of the semester in spring reporting classes, each student is assigned to follow a Major League Baseball team during spring training and blog about the team. Students are required to keep the blog up-to-date on spring training activities on and off the field. They also are assigned to blog about specific topics, to tweet and to conduct podcasts. In their conference presentation, the Lees will describe the blog assignment in detail, share examples of blog posts, discuss the anecdotal evidence that demonstrates the success of the assignment and outline a plan for a quantitative study to better gauge the project’s impact on journalism students.
