Join Atlanta Journal-Constitution newsroom leaders, UGA professors and student journalists and Atlanta-area high school coaches and sports officials for “High School Sports in the Spotlight: An insider Q&A about today’s hottest issues.” Find out what’s changing how high school sports are being played, coached, watched and covered at this panel discussion and networking event. As high school athletics face higher stakes—from deepening local community ties to navigating the emerging financial and legal impacts of Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL)—panelists will discuss how young journalists cover these complex, modern realities. Discover how this experiential model turns classroom assignments into high-impact, published journalism while training the next generation of digital sports media leaders to report on a rapidly changing sports landscape.
