Summary of a Sports Article -- #2
We are reading moe two sports articles from the Boston Globe from the past week. One is Nick Cafardo's "Bats Awaken Late as Red Sox Salvage Split with Orioles" and the other is Nick Cafardo's "Red Sox Bullpen Falters in Another Loss to Orioles." After reading both, decide on which one you wish to summarize.
Sports writing has to convey the basics of journalism, the 5W's and 1H, or who, what, when, where, how and why. This would includes who played what sport, when and where, how the game proceeded and ended, why things turned out as they did, etc. Sports writers freely use the jargon or specialized language of the sport, expecting you to know these terms. They often project a voice or attitude, and do so in a colloquial or conversational way. Sports writing is generally not about front page, world-shaking, breaking news, but our world would be less livable without the camaraderie and heroism of sports.
