The Sports Desk at Annenberg Media has it all: broadcast, editorial, podcast and multimedia. There is a sports segment on ATVN (link to their desk description) and Sports Scene, a debate-style show focusing on Trojan athletics that airs Wednesdays via YouTube. On the print side, writers have the opportunity to cover games and practice or can pitch feature stories, weekly columns or anything else of relevance and interest. Annenberg Media Sports Radio has three shows that concentrate on USC athletics, general sports news and athlete interviews. We generally focus on USC athletics, but also cover Los Angeles teams and professional Trojans.
