Sports PR Weekly Roundup, December 21 Edition

Filed Under Weekly Roundup 

I first want to apologize for the lack of posting here at SPRB. Work and finishing up my last semester of college (ever) has kept me swamped over the past few weeks, but I’ve graduated and I’m back to my regular blogging and tweeting schedule. As in the past, the Sports PR Weekly Roundup points you to a variety of great articles and blog posts about PR, sport business, writing, and career tips. If you’ve read anything lately that should be on the list but isn’t already, please share it with us in the comment section!

  • Everyone has their own opinions on the Tiger Woods scandal, including Sports PR 101, PRNewser, SportsProf, Heather Yaxley, Sports Biz with Darren Rovell, The Sports Ace, Sports Management Worldwide Blog, and PRNewser again.
  • Megan Ogulnick attended the MLB Winter Meetings and took notes from the Professional Business Employment Opportunities (PBEO) job fair, which you can check out here and here.
  • NielsonWire points out the three trends driving the increase in viewing sports on TV and reading about sports online.

The blogger also reviews a non-finance book every other Sunday and he most recently reviewed Crush It!, which is a book that “tells the story about Gary’s experience in translating his passion into a real business.”

    Hey Christy! Thanks so much for including my MLB Winter Meetings posts in your Sports PR Weekly Roundup. Didn’t even realize until now! I’ve recently accepted a New Media position with a Minor League team in New York. I’ll be sure to write some valuable posts that you can share with your audience!

    Also, I just checked out your Twitter and you are doing some incredible things! It’s so refreshing to see other women in the sports industry. It’s about time! :)

    Rock on girl and let’s chat sometime!
