{"product_id":"american-sportswriters-jerry-roberts-9781476688008","title":"American Sportswriters: A Biographical Dictionary","description":"\u003cp\u003e Sportswriting has been often overlooked in histories of journalism, the same way it was paid little attention by newspaper managements in the early and middle 20th century. This book endeavors to remedy that oversight, presenting a concise general history of American sportswriting, as well as detailed profiles of hundreds of practitioners of the trade. Covering such subjects as journalistic ethics, women sportswriters and those of color, as well as the decline of objective sports journalism in the age of shuttered newspapers and multiplying internet outlets, this book highlights the great newspaper and magazine sports editors, columnists, and beat reporters from the 19th century into the present, from the big-city stars to the longer-lasting deans of the trade on smaller publications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jerry Roberts\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1476688001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781476688008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e McFarland \u0026amp; Company\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/19\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 1.02d","brand":"Jerry Roberts","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46199254876415,"sku":"9781476688008","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_1e0ec707-1162-4fd3-b2b2-15e3cfa2ffcf.jpg?v=1727925513","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/american-sportswriters-jerry-roberts-9781476688008","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
