Sports MediaBob Costas at Super Bowl XLIX | Tom Pennington/Getty ImagesSports MediaSports media include multiple organizations staffed with new anchors, broadcasters, commentators, analysts, reporters, producers, journalists, sportscasters, and more, offering commentary and insight on American and worldwide sporting events, from the NFL and NBA to the World Cup and the Olympics. Sports media started with written and print journalism in the 1800s, when newspapers began to devote sections to sports coverage as the popularity of sports grew among the masses. Over the next two centuries, this led to the development of sports-only media organizations (most famously Sports Illustrated and ESPN) and new mediums for sports coverage, including magazines, radio, TV, and more recently social media, with dedicated sports website blogs and Twitter accounts.
