Newhouse School of Public Communications

The S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications is launching a new course, “The Sports Media Project,” in partnership with FOX Sports University.

Fox Sports University logoThe three-credit course, open to juniors and seniors in any major, is co-taught by Ed Russell, associate professor of advertising, and John Nicholson, professor of practice in broadcast and digital journalism and director of the Newhouse Sports Media Center. Twenty-four students from four Newhouse departments, as well as sport management students from the Falk College, have enrolled in the course.

“Working with the people from FOX Sports University is a great opportunity for our students and for us as faculty. We’re ‘champing’ at the bit to get started,” says Nicholson.

Students will work together in teams to compete in a challenge set by FOX Sports University. They will have access to FOX Sports data and guidance from FOX Sports executives as they work on their projects. Some projects may be produced by FOX Sports.

“We are extremely excited to launch FOX Sports University at Syracuse University in their highly acclaimed Newhouse School,” says Chris Hannan ’95, executive vice president of communications and integration at FOX Sports. “With 38 university partners nationwide, Syracuse represents another great step forward for the program and its commitment to enhancing the academic experience.”
