LEXINGTON, Ky. -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- The On Campus Sports Network has unveiled a new era in college sports coverage with the launch of www.OnCampusSports.com, a college student journalist-driven website dedicated to comprehensive coverage of college athletics. OnCampusSports.com, an entertainment platform that attracts the top student-journalists from across the country, provides a unique perspective to the college sports experience unlike anything in the marketplace.
OnCampusSports.com, and its proprietary OCS School of Communication, has already partnered with a number of universities nationwide. Participating schools include: Boise State University, University of Cincinnati, Miami University (Ohio), Ohio State University, Texas Tech University, University of South Alabama, Washington State University and Xavier University.
“It’s a win‐win situation for both the student interns and our student‐athletes,” said Tom Eiser, Associate Athletic Director for Media Relations at Xavier University. “OCS provides an opportunity for students to gain valuable sports journalism experience while also providing positive coverage for our student‐athletes and athletic programs.”
Through these university partnerships, faculty members have committed to promote the opportunity of reporting for On Campus Sports to students, as well as provide recommendations for qualified candidates. In addition, On Campus Sports has been granted full access from major Division I athletic departments, who clearly identify the glaring need for in-depth coverage of all sports.
“The OCS School of Communication will allow aspiring journalists the chance to gain an advantage in the job market from on‐the‐job training and authentic work experience,” said Rayo Nulsen, President of the On Campus Sports Network. “Students will also enjoy broad exposure to a national audience, along with coaching from professional editors, university professors and student peers.”
“One thing that is true for all journalism students is the need for real‐world experience and a place to publish their work,” said Dr. Richard Campbell, Director of Journalism at Miami University. “Our partnership with On Campus Sports reinforces the critical elements we’re teaching in the classroom, and even our best writers will benefit from the constant feedback and evaluation.”
