April 26-28: Liverpool John Moores University’s Journalism Department invites us to the 2023 EJTA Teachers’ conference on the teaching of Sports, Society and Specialist Journalism.

We hope to raise many questions about the growth of Sports Journalism as an academic subject and how we adapt this and other specialisms into our courses. The conference will also look at the wider impact of sport on society and the role journalism can play in monitoring sports bodies and corporations. Guest speakers from the BBC and the UK’s Guardian newspaper will contribute expertise and we are hoping to tackle the debate on sport, money, and ethics, focusing on the World Cup in Qatar.
