The National Sports Journalism Center is a journalism program run by Indiana University and a resource center for sports media professionals. The center, based at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis,[1] currently offers undergraduate-level sports journalism courses and will launch what is believed to be the nation's first master's of sports journalism program in Fall 2010.[2]

The center, founded in early 2009, also hosts events on the Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses. It held its first event, a forum on the effects of hype and evolving media pressures on sports reporting, in March 2009.[3] It held a second panel discussion on diversity in the sports media industry in September 2009.[4] Additional speakers have included Fox sports commentator Joe Buck and Pulitzer Prize winner and "Friday Night Lights" author H.G. Bissinger.[5]

The center also offers real-world sports journalism opportunities for students, including placing about a dozen Indiana University and Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis students in a "Student News Bureau" to cover the 2010 NCAA Men's Final Four in Indianapolis.[6]

Former Chicago Tribune sports editor Tim Franklin leads the center, which also includes instructors William F. "Billy" Reed, former Sports Illustrated senior writer; and Pamela Laucella, author of Jesse Owens, the Press and the 1936 Berlin Olympics and co-author of Strategic Sport Communication.

The center is also home to the Associated Press Sports Editors,[7] the nation's largest sports media organization.
