(Redirected from
Sportswriter)
Sportswriting is a form of journalism who writes and reports on sports topics and events.
Ernest Hemingway's writing could perhaps be considered in this category due to his love for hunting, fishing and boxing. Bernard Malamud also wrote powerfully about baseball in his novel The Natural.
The Associated Press Sports Editors runs training programs in the USA for sports journalists.
Within newspapers, the sports department is sometimes called the "toy department," but sportswriters face much more deadline pressure than most other reporters.
