The journalist Steve Wilstein is a great, famous, and a achieving journalist. He has had major articles dealing with any type of sport. He was a sports journalist for big stories and a photographer for sports. He would use his photographer for the stories he would write, some photos were quit the action shot. He has made it to the Hall of Fame in his writing. To me his work is excellent and very detailed, it's interesting to read also to share with some people. I chose him as a journalist because he is realistic, known for his work, published a book of sports and other writers, and the way he writes about sports.
The way Wilstein writes is not the fake stuff you see in magazines or on blogs. He shows the true meaning of writing about sports and actually shows the photographs for his writing. The

“ Associated Press sports writing handbook” by Steve Wilstein is about other writers in the sports field and who is famous for their work. It was to help others that would like to proceed in the career of journalism. To show others how to become like the. The writers he wrote about are famous for their work as well as he was. Jim Litke was a journalist for sports and a photographer. Jim had big stories as well, he has more of any other kind of sport, like golf, baseball, swimmers, and managers. Joan Ryan was a lady who had several big stories and famous for her work. She wrote story on Molina's dad when he was a baseball coach for little league and died on the field due to a heart attack. This was one of her famous stories because of the detail she put in it. It shows me that there is more writers for the sports industry. They all show me there can be many different type of stories from different authors some can be little and some are major. This is what amazes me about journalism, the stories are not just based on what someone what said, it is about what they learn and solve to make a good headline or
In Sandy Koufax: A Lefty’s Legacy, Jane Leavy does her best to bring to light the incredible Sandy Koufax. Koufax was one of baseball’s greatest pitchers, and could be considered the best. He is also one of the sport’s biggest mysteries. He doesn't do interviews with people that are trying to write biographies about him. But Leavy was able to gain access to hundreds of interviews with friends, teammates, family members, and acquaintances of Koufax.
Travis Lazarczyk doesn’t consider himself a sportswriter but rather a writer about people with sports as a backdrop. His most exciting stories to write about comes from the accomplishment a group of people or individuals, specifically high school basketball teams. The most emotional story he has ever wrote about was Dick McGee. Dick was a friend and Lazarczyk’s feature on Dick felt he was writing an obituary rather than a feature.

Sports photographers have many obstacles to overcome as fast paced moving targets are not as easy to capture a still object. Ezra Shaw and Niel Leifer are the masters of capturing sports in action.

Leifer has taken many of the most iconic photos in the history of all sports, although his most famous shot was of Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Listen II after knocking him out. Ezra Shaw is also a well-known sports photographer and is known for the game winning shot in the 2016 NBA finals.
The article, “CJ2K:The Hard Way” written by Alan Shipnuck. The article is inherently about Chris Johnson (a famous football player for the Arizona Cardinals). Starting, about his old problems with his team and children and how he got through it in a full-hearty way. Later on, it talks about how he practices countlessly and on how he always tries to score so high leading to his goal to have to make a rush for 2,000 yards (which is a gigantic goal in football). Which you can see that he is determined to do great (in football), and that he will not do arrogant things when in trouble.

Jim Thorpe is perhaps one of the best athletes the world has ever seen. His accomplishments throughout his life are records that might not ever be broken.

His “sharply split opinions” signaled to the audience that his essay could go either way. By starting off with his primary research, he gained the reader’s attention enough that he or she would continue reading, despite their own opinions on the topic. His purpose for writing was driven by his numerous ordinary, but detrimental, experiences with college athletes as a student and as an educator. One sentence that reveals his purpose is, “It’s sad to see bright young athletes knowingly compromise their potential and settle for much less education than they deserve.”
He was also a multi-sport athlete playing football, baseball, basketball, and track.
The world would be nowhere near where it is today without the drinks that revolutionized the world. Tom Standage begins with an obvious fact that humans can not live without any form of drink. He goes on to tell us which drinks that Standage will survey and how they changed the history of the world. Drinks became so important and so well known that people were getting paid for their labor intensive work with beer. Slaves were also being bought with whiskey, rum, and brandy.
