NSMA's Top Five

In the Spotlight

Keep Your Website Relevant in the AI World

By Gail Sideman, for NSMA

Newsrooms shrink. Papers fold. Networks lose event coverage rights — or others buy them.

Where does that leave you, the person behind the mic or keyboard?

You’ve done the work and want to show it to future employers or subscribers if you decide to go the route of many talented sports journalists. That’s where your own website and AI come in.

A website alone won’t make you relevant. AI alone won’t make you visible. But together? That’s how you stay findable now and forever.

Next NSMA Virtual Summit Coming February 11

The second semester has begun, which means it's time for college seniors to focus on their job hunts.

And the NSMA is here to help with our next virtual Sports Media Convergence Summit.

On Wednesday, February 11, at 5 p.m. EST, join us for "Breaking Through: Turning Passion Into A Sports Media Career," with panelists Tom Boman (Learfield VP of Broadcast Operations), Leon Carter (Editor-At-Large - The Athletic), and Howard Deneroff (President - Stand By Media and former Westwood One EVP/Executive Producer).

The cost for the Summit is $9.99 for NSMA members and students, $19.99 for non-members. The Summit is free for those who attended the June Summit and for Elon University students.

The Elon University School of Communications is the sponsor for NSMA's Covergence Summits.

NSMA will send the link to join to those registered on the day of the virtual summit.

Please share these details with any students or young professionals you think may be interested in joining the conversation.
