Tom White's Series: The High School Sports Machine

Hoops01-400

The Sports Production Machine is a monthly feature chronicling the wins (and losses) that come with creating and running a sports production program within your video offerings. The articles are meant to support, encourage, and enlighten readers with real stories from the classroom and the field. The author, Tom White, runs the nationally recognized Sports Broadcast Institute (SBI) at the Rockdale Career Academy in Conyers, Georgia. The SBI students produce hundreds of live broadcasts, news packages, features, and more each year and Tom is free with his stories from the teacher’s perspective. The SBI students get a variety of experiences including working with Georgia State Athletics, the University of Georgia’s Grady School of Journalism Sports Media Certificate program and many more postsecondary and professional organizations.

If there are topics you believe should be covered in the Sports Production Machine articles or if you have questions, you can reach Tom at  twhite@schoolvideonews.com
