The speaker for this session was Nils Rosdahl from North Idaho College. He had some great examples and ideas for quality sports sections for newspaper that could also be modified for yearbook.
I was really fired up by this session; it gave me such great ideas for our media on covering different sports and creative ways to report. Rosdahl said that sports stories should not be recaps because everyone already knows what happened before they pick up the paper. The stories should have an angle and also look towards the future. Feature stories on players or specific plays are a good way to make the section interesting too. I realized from this session that sports stories are newsy, but should be written more like features to draw in readers.
