Another Year...SJI Begins New Era
SJI alum Ed Encina speaks to class about his job as Tampa Bay Devil Rays beat reporter.
It's another year of training the next class of rising sports journalists. So far the class has showed the eagerness needed to be successful in this business.
On day one the students covered Game Six of the Eastern Conference Finals and had their first sports check. The highest score was six out of 10 questions. That was a rough debut, but it will teach them to pay attention to what is going on in the world.
On day two, the class had a 15 questions sports check with two bonus questions. The highest score was 10.
The class also reviews their game stories from the Heat-Pistons game. There was some promise with some of the ledes, but the students have a longggggggggg week ahead.
1997 alum Ed Encina gave the class points on how to cover baseball. The next two days the class will cover the Devil Rays and a Yankees' minor league team.
Stay tuned for more.

Just make sure that you make have them go through a "mock press conference" like we did in 04.
It was my second favorite moment, behind (tie) getting yelled at by Stephen A. and him telling us that he wouldn't hire any of us and listening to the two concession stand workers at the Phillies ballpark argue which almost left one of them to stab the other.
Great times...Great times.
