Sports journalism had only a recreational function for some time. However, this approach has changed over time and today it occupies one of the most important places in the hierarchy of forms of journalism.&nbsp;Nowadays, sports events are often the focus of modern media: in media it is given a separate space; relevant programs, stories are being actively prepared ...&nbsp;Today’s Mediascope is about Sports Journalism. The field which is the most popular part of modern media. Elene Bilikhodze, a sports commentator on Georgian Radio (Public Broadcaster) talks about its importance, needs and advantages.&nbsp;&nbsp;The very first examples of sports journalismInformation about chess written by Homer in Greece is considered to be the first achievement of sports journalism. Records on wrestling, boxing, shooting, and, of course, the ancient Olympic Games also appear later. The latter was entertaining at the time, and since it was recognized as a common public religious holiday, it was considered that spreading information was a form of entertainment too.&nbsp;Later, when attitudes towards sports changed dramatically and the principle of competition emerged, sports reviews began to fight for leading positions in the hierarchy of journalism and it can be boldly said that it is an integral part of the modern media space nowadays.&nbsp;Field of Interest of Sports JournalismIt covers many topics. Obviously, we are no longer talking about big sports competitions and especially popular sports. One of the top priorities of sports journalism today is to promote healthy lifestyle, especially in the current epidemic situation.&nbsp;Sports Journalism in Modern Media Space&nbsp;The scarcity of sports programs is not observed in the modern media space and this is really to be welcomed.&nbsp;I cannot say that the standard of information dissemination is violated in modern sports journalism today, however, it can be said that there are some shortcomings when it comes to transfers, revenues, doping scandals. But today such an attitude to the issue can also be called a kind of marketing ploy.&nbsp;It is important to be covered!It is important to prepare materials on the development of Parasports, because the attitude towards parasportsmen in our country has changed so much that today they are in leading positions in various sports. One of the motivators for the development of this direction was the first silver medal won by parachutist Nini Tibilashvili at the Tokyo Paralympic Games. The attitude of the society has also changed over time: we can already fight for medals at the Paralympic Games.&nbsp;I think it is also very important to prepare programs and reports on the development of sports infrastructure and management. If these two segments in the country meet modern standards, it will become one of the main pillars of the development of sports tourism. At the same time, the country will have a real ambition to fight for hosting major international competitions, which will have a positive impact not only on sports but also on the country’s economy.&nbsp;Sports Journalism on Multimedia Platforms - Advantages and DisadvantagesConsidering modern technologies, online media is especially popular among young people nowadays.&nbsp;Obviously, every format has its charm. It can be said that the existing resources allow us to think only about the advantages and priorities, that is why the media is constantly trying to correct the shortcomings in this direction.&nbsp;Sports News in the Newscasts&nbsp;Today, the public interest in sports is so great that there are cases when the media start broadcasting programs talking about sports triumph.&nbsp;Due to Georgian reality, when world wrestler Lasha Talakhadze performs, everyone tries to be the first to film this event from a different angle and then release exclusive footage.&nbsp;It is Important for Success in Sports Journalism ...Of course, education. This is not just about sports journalism. After education, interest and love for sports is the main foundation that becomes the main message of this education.&nbsp;To be well aware of all kinds of sports is impossible, but you should always try to prepare well for the meeting with any respondent and gain his/her trust.&nbsp;Trust is Most Important!&nbsp;The trust of a respondent is most important. In this regard, I am very happy and proud, because any athlete provides me with the exclusive information after the end of the competition.&nbsp;Gaining and then maintaining the respondent’s trust should be our top priority. I always talk about the importance of the latter with my students, who are world sports stars, - said the sports commentator of Georgian Radio, Elene Bilikhodze.&nbsp;Soso Gazdeliani

Reportage has a special place among journalism genres. Some media theorists even call it the “king” of the genres.&nbsp;Reportage requires a reporter on site. S/he himself/herself is a firsthand eyewitness to the development of events. The journalist with his/her reportage should make the viewers feel as if they are also participants in the story.&nbsp;Media theorists also point out that the main focus of the reportage is the journalist’s point of view, as he tries to show the audience the dynamics of the event at all stages of its development - from beginning to end.&nbsp;Today’s mediascope is on reportage. Our respondent is Irma Choladze, the regional correspondent of the Public Broadcaster’s news program “Moambe”, who is also a student at CIU Doctoral Program in Mass Communication. She herself tells us about the “sweet melancholy” of being a reporter.&nbsp;“King of Genres”&nbsp;German media theorists and practicing journalists call the reportage the “King of Genres”. I reckon that it is, indeed, one of the most distinguished among the journalism genres.Characteristic features of the reportage are: the clarity of the story and a viewer’s feeling that s/he is also at the epicenter of events together with the reporter.&nbsp;Skills: inborn and learned&nbsp;To prepare a good reportage, you need skills such as:&nbsp;<ul><li>Journalistic intuition, which, I think, is not taught;</li><li>Journalistic experience;</li><li>Reporter’s internal culture and ethics;</li><li>Fluency.</li></ul>&nbsp;Clearly, the mere existence of these skills, taken alone, can do nothing if it is not accompanied by the image of a journalist and the trust of the public. The latter is created over the years.&nbsp;As you know, it is not only the journalist who works on the reportage, therefore, professionalism is needed in all segments in order for the result to be the best.&nbsp;Non-interference is important!&nbsp;In order to reach the result, two more factors must be taken into account:1. Relevance of the topic;2. Guarantee of non-interference by the employer or the producer.&nbsp;Full independence in the reporting process is an important prerequisite so that it does not serve the interests of either party.&nbsp;I – Reporter&nbsp;Reportage is my favorite genre. Reporting means being constantly at the epicenter of events. In all my reportages I feel a responsibility to my audience. I constantly try to be objective, operative and, most importantly, unbiased. My mission is doing live reportages.&nbsp;I do not have any exceptionally memorable reportages, because all my reports, I think, are memorable. It cannot be otherwise, when you often have to do this work at the risk of your own health. For example, last year I injured my leg while covering a large-scale flood in Racha. It can be said that then reportage was remembered not only for me, but also for the whole Oni municipality.&nbsp;Situation - extreme, emotion - zero!&nbsp;Personally, I have repeatedly proved that it is possible for a journalist to maintain a neutral tone in extreme situations: not to follow emotions and convey the message as calmly as possible, but this does not mean to go to the other extreme and, for example, have a happy face when covering a tragedy.&nbsp;One important skill I have developed over the years is to work in a heavy emotional atmosphere: when I cover a tragedy, everything around is ruined, people search among the debris, pull out the dead and hear cries, even in such a situation I try to be emotionally neutral and informative. At this point I have to think about the misfortune that has happened and the viewer who is already depressed by all this. I also think that I should not burst into tears while being live or even worse, faint... Trust me, this ability is not easy to achieve. And at the end of the day, when I am no longer live and stop working, I may even cry and lose the ability to even say a word, but the viewer will not be able to see it.&nbsp;Livestreaming and recording&nbsp;We must first find out if the story is over. If the event has already happened, the reporter’s narration from the scene is no longer appropriate. In this case, it is better to install. In such a format it is necessary to tell a detailed story. It should include all possible aspects of the topic. But, if the story is not over yet, a reporter narrating the story directly from the spot is an ideal option.&nbsp;In any case, we must remember that a good reporter makes the viewer feel as if he is not in front of the television, but at the scene, - said Irma Choladze, the regional correspondent of the Public Broadcaster “Moambe”.&nbsp;Soso Gazdeliani
