Christian Fauria, the former New England Patriots and Seattle Seahawks tight end, recently took his Bryant College sports media students on a unique field trip to Radio Row in Los Angeles for Super Bowl coverage. This hands-on learning experience allowed the young journalists to produce three live radio shows from the iconic studio.
Fauria, who now teaches sports media at Bryant University, guided his students through the process of researching and writing news stories, conducting interviews with experts and athletes, and producing high-quality audio content. The trip not only provided a behind-the-scenes look at how professional sports media operates but also gave the students valuable hands-on experience in their field.
The group spent several days attending Super Bowl events, including press conferences, team meetings, and live games, allowing them to gather first-hand information and conduct interviews with key figures. Fauria emphasized the importance of accuracy, fairness, and storytelling in sports journalism, ensuring that his students understood the critical role they play in shaping public perception.
By immersing themselves in the fast-paced world of professional sports media, Bryant's sports media students gained invaluable insight into the industry, honed their skills, and developed a deeper understanding of what it takes to produce high-quality content under pressure. This unique field trip has set them up for success as they pursue careers in sports journalism, cementing Fauria's reputation as an effective teacher and mentor.

, I mean, are we really teaching the next gen of journalists by putting them in a pressure cooker like that? I think it's great that they got hands-on experience, but was it too much to handle? I know Fauria's trying to prepare them for the real world, but can't he just give them a break sometimes? 
. And hey, if it works, who cares? The end result matters, right? But what about the students who aren't cut out for it? Don't we need to find ways to help those ones too? 
! like, who wouldn't want to experience the real deal of sports media coverage?! it's so dope that they got to produce live radio shows and conduct interviews with athletes & experts - that's like, ultimate learning material 
. Fauria is literally the best teacher ever for instilling these values of accuracy, fairness, and storytelling in his students 
. can't wait to see what these young journalists do next!
. But hey, if it helps 'em develop their skills and become better journalists, then good on 'em! 
. As someone who's always juggling multiple tasks at once, I can attest to how hard it is to get everything done on time. Fauria's hands-on approach is exactly what these students needed – it's all about learning by doing! 
The fact that he emphasized accuracy, fairness, and storytelling is music to my ears 
. This trip is a perfect example of how experiential learning can make all the difference in helping students develop the skills they need to succeed in their careers 
trying to take selfies with the veggies? i mean what's up with that? anyway back to sports journalism, i feel like we need more stories about the mental health of athletes on the field... like Christian Fauria is doing something amazing with his students but I bet there are so many other factors at play when it comes to performance and pressure
want to see some proof before I believe it
