"A History of the Sporting News." Magazines Things and Other Stuff. 2 Apr. 2008 <http://www.magazines.things-and-other-s
The website “A History of the Sporting News” is very helpful in my topic of the influence of early sports publications on sports blogs today. This website gives a lot of good information about The Sporting News which was an old sports publication that much of the United States used to get to learn about all the sporting events that they were not able to attend firsthand. It is a good way to compare the sports blogs of today and what people were used to before the internet was even a thought. It is a good source to show the advancement of the sports publications and what all they contained.
"SB Nation." Sports Blog Nation. 2 Apr. 2008 <http://www.sbnation.com/>.
Sports Blog Nation is an excellent example of an up to date weblog. It has very interesting information for the interested sports fan. It has categories for numerous sports so one does not have to focus on only one sport. In my opinion, I found it to be a very good website to compare the older publications to. It contains good examples of a blog webpage and shows how the sports fans of today can get some of their information.
"Sports Illustrated." Wikipedia. 28 Mar. 2008. 2 Apr. 2008 <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_Ill
For quite some time now, Sports Illustrated has been one, if not the, most well known sports publications of the time. Before the internet came out and besides the local newspaper Sports Illustrated gave every sports fan the inside track on all of the sporting information. When it first hit the newsstands it was another stepping stone in the sporting publications world. This website contains information about the history and influence of the magazine. It has had much to do with the way the sports blogs look and operate today. Sports Illustrated will be a great help with further developing my topic.
