Today is arguably one of the greatest days for American sports. Opening Day of the baseball season is something that some people wait for once the final out is recorded in the World Series. With such a large demand for these games of course there is going to be media coverage of this event. It started around lunch time today and ESPN has been all baseball, all opening day material since that moment. They featured 3 key games throughout the enitre day. It started the day off with opening ceremonies at the New York Yankees vs the Detroit Tigers. They continued the coverage with the St. Louis Cardinals and the San Diego Padres picking up the second game. ESPN closes their opening day coverage with a nod to last years World Series Champs, the San Francisco Giants playing the Los Angeles Dodgers. I think this whole day has come a far ways down from when baseball originally began considering it was a struggle to even get mulitiple teams in the national spotlight back in the day. Now they run a whole days worth of coverage on the greatest sports news empire to ever be built, ESPN.

Media Journal Day 1
3/30
Getting back into the swing of things after Spring Break is always hard. I opened up the USA Today as I normally do for some solid news across America. Im not sure if it is just me but it is becoming a pain to use newspapers as the only source of news and stories. Its almost as easy today to just go online to one of the respective news websites or get some new app on your phone to give you up to date breakthroughs and happenings. Especially with turmoils in the Middle East, I think that on time updates are the most crucial thing so we are knowledgable to whats happening currently. I feel like our class discussions of print media losing its luster couldnt be more true at this point. My parents were subscribers to USA and the Houston Chronicle for as long as I can remember so I guess it comes natural that I just pick up a paper for the sake of it. Even if I spend the dollar to purchase the local Fayetteville paper or the USA Today, I am still more then likely going to end up on cnn.com or some other internet news source that makes things more convenient and at my fingertips.Its quite the strange anomaly.
