Sports Writer Intern
As a sports writer with isportsweb.com you will be assigned to cover a sports beat for a team that you have equal parts passion, knowledge, and the ability to write with confidence about. As that team’s sports writer, students will be expected to generate two articles per week about the team(s) they are covering. These articles range from opinion and analysis articles to true game previews and recaps. We give our writers freedom to pick topics they find relevant to their particular team, but also guide them along the way to make sure they are on the right path.
Writing for isportsweb.com will expose you to a national audience of readers as well as educate you on the nuances of online sports reporting, which is all too critical in this day and age. You will receive editing and technical support during your time with isportsweb.com.
