Big Ten Network to air NSJC symposium

Nov. 4, 2009
The Big Ten Network will air the National Sports Journalism Center’s recent symposium on diversity in sports media twice Thursday, Nov. 5.

"The Diversity Divide" will air at 10 a.m. and again at 4 p.m. The Sept. 14 panel at the NSJC in Indianapolis featured sports journalists and researchers discussing how a lack of diversity among reporters and sports organizations affects media coverage.

This is the second NSJC symposium on the BTN this year. The network plans to record the upcoming Speaker Series talk with Joe Buck Nov. 10 for broadcast at a future date.
