Outline (in English)

(Course Outline) There are two entry points into the study of journalism. The first is to focus on the outcome and consequences of the victories and defeats, and to examine in detail what the communicators saw, how they understood, analyzed, and expressed themselves. The other is to look at the events that shook society at the time, starting with the elements that brought about the change. This is reflected in the increase of themes such as what ideas were behind the change, what sports should be like under the current circumstances, and how athletes are responding to the change. The word "sport" is not uniformly accepted by people and society, depending on the country, region, or era. When sports are the subject of journalism, the reader must be aware of the contemporary frame of sports behind the individual tone and analysis. In this special topic, we will examine contemporary sports coverage from a deeper level by comparing specific journalistic tropes with the organizations and regimes that have colored the topics of the day.
(Learning Objectives) The journalism we usually see in our daily lives does not expose all of the realities of society as it is. The communicators have their own agendas and aims, sometimes concealing a great deal, and at other times telling the whole story. What influences this is often the relationship that an organization or person has with society. So what is developing in the society surrounding sports? How are they connected to each other? Only by knowing this can we confront journalism. Only by doing so will we be able to reach a position where we can view journalism objectively. The goal is to acquire a broad perspective from which to read and understand journalism.
(Learning Activities Outside of Classroom) Be sensitive to sports news and keep abreast of political, economic, and social events. In today's society, where social networking sites are so powerful, we encourage students to be willing to verify the truth of what is going on, and to question whether or not they should be part of the worldview espoused by the masses. Students are also expected to actively explore sports journalism from around the world. The standard preparation and review time for this class is 2 hours each.
(Grading Criteria/Policy) The way you approach sports events, the structure you use to communicate them, and the breadth of your sports worldview will be required from time to time.
