Sports Journalism: A History of Glory, Fame, and Technology traces the transformation of American sports reporting from early newspaper dispatches to today’s digital platforms. It examines how innovations in technology and shifts in society have influenced the way fans consume and understand sport.

The book highlights key movements—immigration, racial and gender equality, religious influences and the rise of social media—and how each reshaped the newsroom. It also delves into ethical challenges unique to sports coverage and contrasts them with mainstream news reporting.
