UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. — Ten Penn State students representing three different majors in the Donald P. Bellisario College of Communications are in London this week writing stories for the Miami Herald and the Sports Business Journal while working on a documentary highlighting the stories of British NFL fans.
The working trip, coordinated by the John Curley Center for Sports Journalism, follows a professional partnership model that's been used successfully in the past to provide students with hands-on experience at the highest levels. In the past, Curley Center students have covered Penn State football in Ireland, Penn State baseball in Cuba, and the 2016 Rio Paralympics.
However, this trip is unprecedented for the Curley Center because students are working to make the center's first sports documentary.
