Manx people approaching
sportswriting come in with pre

that I wanted to disabuse them
of that notion.
Sportswriting is like any
other type of journalism
Olderman read another pas

John hasten, a public rela

though the class was demand

sportswriting and journalism in
general, and was glad that Old

Olderman insists that the
main difference betwetui
sportswriting and other types of
