For my money, these are the three biggest challenges facing sports journalism in 2021 and beyond:
The economic future of the industry. How should sports journalism be funded, and how can it realistically happen?
The diversity of our field. This is still an overwhelmingly white man’s world, and that’s not good.
What should sports journalism look like? Was normalizing online media to our journalistic norms the smart move, and what should stories/coverage look like in the future?
