When answering the question how would I rank the five
major areas in sports communications? I would begin with management and
individuals in the management area of expertise. The importance of management
in the sport industry truly is a hidden gem of opportunity that guides sport
into new boundaries. The CEO of a sports broadcasting network will need
multiple set of skills to retain current viewers and increase new viewers.
Management gives the company vision that connects and maximizes others with the
same mission and goals.
The second major area is the medium of media; the ability
to personalize sport and connect has grown sport to a new zenith. When we tune
into ESPN or the evening news waiting to see the highlights and memorable
comments by our recognizable sports broadcaster we expect to be entertained
with cool words and sayings, do not forget knowledge. Media, the ability to write a blog and appear
in person on a network makes media an invigorating vocation that expands daily
with technology. Even though we have less printed material, instant news in the
form of Facebook, Snapchat just to name a few will continue to grow and reshape
media.
I would rank the support services industry and the
entertainment industry as fast growing opportunities in sport. Even though
there are more career choices in support services, the entertainment industry
has it hold on the imagination of youth and gamers. With the emergence of
esport the need for video game designers will increase greatly expanding the
field entertainment. The lowest area would include the miscellaneous things
that included media researcher, sport media buyers and sport communication
educator.
In conclusion, support
services has the most abundance of opportunities, but the demand is strong in
the sport career world for dedicated trained professionals. The sport professional
who is open to working in different areas of sport will benefit the most if he
or she is willing to adjust, an example, someone who has only worked in
baseball media, takes the position of sports information director for a hockey
team.
