QUALITIES
  of a GOOD
SPORTS WRITE R
• MUST constantly bear in mind
 that he writes for his readers
 and not for himself.

• MUST attend games as a
 reporter, not as a spectator or
 cheerer.

• MUST observe accuracy in his
 articles or write-ups.
• MUST observe accuracy in his
 articles or write-ups.
• MUST be fair and unbiased in
 reporting, even though he has a
 favorite team among the
 competing groups.
• MUST know sports well enough –
 its rules, strategies, team and
 player records and the like.
MUST know the coaches and
players as intimately as
possible.
MUST be able to take notes
quickly without losing the
sequence of the play.
MUST use the specialized
language of the particular sports
he is reporting.
• MUST avoid sports slang and
 trite expressions; and should
 tell the story in plain, factual
 terms that truly describe the
 action.

• MUST not make comments
 without supporting them with
 facts on which these are
 based.
• SPORTS
 WRITING
  is, basically,


  news writing, too.
• Observably all the elements found in news
 writing – timeliness or immediacy,
 prominence, proximity or nearness, oddity,
 conflict, consequence, human interest, drama,
 romance or sex, numbers and others – are
 also present in sports writing. All the rules
 present in news writing – especially those on
 accuracy, brevity and clarity -- virtually apply
 to sports writing, too.
• The latter, however,
      has a
      greater freedom
      of
      STYLE.
• Moreover, the most defined element in
  sports writing is conflict as sports
  connotes competition, contest, dispute,
  struggle or battle for supremacy by
  individuals or groups of individuals.
  Definitely, conflict is present in sports
  competitions.
• Opposing forces generally fight for the
  crown and exert all efforts and strategies
  towards this much-sought triumph.
•ACTION, therefore, is present in
 sports and it is the duty of the sports
 writer to bring or picture this action to the
 readers who were unable to directly watch
 the actual contest. The sports writer who
 can expertly describe the sports action
 through words, phrases or sentences is
 one successful writer, indeed!

• Since action is foremost in sports, there is
 consequently a need for the writer to be
 adept at or knowledgeable about verbs
 and adjectives. Verbs are action words
 and adjectives are words that can aptly
 describe the action in the event.
• At present, there exists much leeway
 in sports writing styles.

   Merely reading sports stories at
 present immediately proves that most
 sports stories are now gearing
 towards NOVELTY LEADS.

   Nevertheless, of course, sports
 writers have not totally forsaken the
 summary lead.
The leads nowadays promptly
describe the action through
carefully selected sentences that
instantly deliver the reader to
the sports scene.
The
SUMMARY LEAD
THE LEAD ITSELF
• When utilizing the summary lead (Five Ws
  and One H), the writer must not fail to
  state specifically who won the game and
  against whom.
• It is imperative to state the score or
  outcome. Where was the contest held?
  When?
• If the game was not completed due to
  weather conditions or other incidents, say
  so; but tell the existing score when it was
  stopped.
THE BODY
OF THE STORY
• If the lead is written in a thrilling
  vein, the body should be given
  the same treatment.
• Give the play-by-play account of
  the contest, taking note of
  decisive or interesting plays or
  any highlights that occurred
  therein.
Give the best scores of the day as
    well as the team or individual
    standings after the game, plus
    the game’s significance, if any.

Statements that are quite
controversial or significant may
likewise be included in the body
of the story.
The weather condition may be
mentioned, too, together with
the crowd’s reactions and
subsequent post-game
celebration scenes.
•USE of SLANG
  LANGUAGE
• DISCARD:           … a severe blow administered to the
  face and another, with the left hand, to the region of
  the stomach.

• PREFERRED : … a hard uppercut to the jaw and a
  left jab to the belt line.

• DISCARD:          The left-handed pitcher threw the
  ball so well that his opponents were unable to strike
  it.

• PREFERRED: The southpaw pitched airtight ball.
SPORTS
NO VEL TY
  LEADS
• SAN DIEGO – The St. Louis Cardinals surrounded
  Reggie Sanders in the clubhouse and chanted
  “MVP! MVP! MVP!”
  ==========

• A double black-eye.
  With that, it’s understandable why Aterneo coach
  Norman Black is feeling blue these days.
  ==========

• FARMINGTON, Pennsylvania – Phil Mickelson.
  Vijay Singh. David Thomas, Jim Furyk.
  With four of the top five money winners on the US
  PGA Tour, the 84 Luimber Classic has na better
  field than most of the post-major tournaments.
  ==========
• The best is yet to come from the “Beast”.
  “Coach told me that we have a very long
  tournament so I have to pace myself,” Purefoods
  Chunkee import Marquin Chandler said Sunday
  night.

  ==========

• Marquin Chandler was not merely a Giant for
  Purefoods Chunkee last night. He was a monster.

  ==========
• For a while, as confetti rasined down on the triumphant
  Far Eastern U Tamaraws, it looked like coach Bert
  Flores will be going through the whole euphoria
  without experiencing the biggest thrill of it all – a
  victory ride from his players.
  ==========

• The newest faces of Philippine tennis continued to
  emerge from the horizon.
  ==========

• LAS VEGAS – Shane Mosley was anything but sweet. He
  was a winner, though, with his sights set on bigger
  things.
  ==========
Spor t s
Headl i nes
•HEADLINES are an equally
 important part of a sports news
 story.
    While the lead summarizes the
 entire news development, the
 headline summarizes the lead itself.
