Unfortunately due to the constantly evolving coronavirus situation, Aye Write 2020 has been cancelled, and this event will no longer go ahead. We will contact ticket holders directly as soon as possible.
To what extent have blogs, social media and other forms of multi-media overtaken print reporting? Are journalists still the best source of information on the latest sporting trends and developments?
Michael McEwan, a sports-writer and best-selling author, analyses all these points and asks: has the final whistle blown on traditional ways of consuming sports content? This session will include advice on how to become a top sports-writer and will arm attendees with the tools they need to succeed in the industry – whether online or in print.
