Bluetonic Posted April 6, 2011 Author Share Posted April 6, 2011 Can I ask the opening poster what you're studying and how wrestling applies to it? Yeah no problem, it's Sports Journalism I have studied, but to be honest have fallen out of love with most sports over the last year or so. Wrestling continues to fascinate me though, and I was just about to get away with using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr.Showtime Posted April 7, 2011 Share Posted April 7, 2011 Can I ask the opening poster what you're studying and how wrestling applies to it?

Wrestling continues to fascinate me though, and I was just about to get away with using it. Cool. I dunno how old you are but perhaps you should do a general/standard journalism course after this one? Especially if you're getting a bit fed up of some sport. I always thought learning the craft was better the other way round - perfect the basics and styles of main news journalism, then branch out into sport, fashion, business, technology etc once you know which road you'd like to go down. Lord knows there's no jobs as it is, and only having the sport feather in your bow probably isn't going to be an advantage. Â I've no idea why they okay'd you to write a sports journalism dissertation on something that isn't a sport, as fascinating as it is, and I dunno why you'd go down that road when you know most likely whoever grades it will have no clue what you're on about. Despite all this, I wish you luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Reefer Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Sports Journalism was Terry Pratchett's dream job according to his bio. He did ok for himself in the end. Thinking about it, I'm rather surprised Pro Wrestling never took off in Ankh Morpork. Â Congrats on the first. Â Now make with the dissertation...
