1. Based on our discussion today, find a story about a major sport, athlete, university, brand, conference or other sports entity that you believe was a result of an earned media opportunity, meaning content that was pitched and placed through public relations efforts (not an ad). Provide a specific example to back this up via a link to a story or video. If you can, try and find a positive story! Finding good news is not required, but we could all use good doses of good news! Note: I am not looking for story about the result of a game. Here is an example: https://www.si.com/soccer/2021/02/17/chelsea-clinton-jenna-bush-hager-washington-spirit-stakes
2. Along the same lines, in your opinion, which sport do you think has done the best job of staying in the public eye during the COVID-19 pandemic and why? Provide other story links and/or personal anecdotes.
Answer both of these questions in one post.
Your initial post is due by 11:59 pm on Friday, February 19 and your response to at least one other student in class must be posted by 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, February 23.
Your post should be between 250-350 words
I am reviewing and grading for error-free writing in terms of grammar, style, spelling and punctuation. I will take off a half-point for each of these errors, so proof your work carefully. I am also reviewing the depth of your content and for original thought. Please note that you will have to make an initial post before you can see posts from other students and any outside resources/links must be properly cited (minus 3 if resources are not cited).
