J.A. Adande Professor Northwestern University, former ESPN, LA Times, Washington Post
Malcolm Moran Professor IUPUI, Indianapolis, former New York Times, USA Today
Tim Keown Senior Writer, ESPN [Tim has comments about empathy in reporting and writing and the value of sports journalism]
Naomi Osaka withdrew from the French Open this week, after citing her anxiety of doing post-match press conferences. She was fined $15,000 after skipping the presser following her first match after which she withdrew. She said it was for her own mental health. She apologized to the fans and to the reporters who cover tennis.
Adande and Moran are both long-time, award-winning sports journalists who now run sports journalism programs at their respective schools. We talk about Osaka, mental health, sourcing, access regarding athletes/sources and journalists. It is deep and timely.
