A New Look for Sports Media Journal
June 13, 2011 is the beginning of a new era for Sports Media Journal.
The site has pretty much had the same look since we launched in March of 2007. The SMJ logo has changed, but the site layout had stayed the same.
Today adopt a new layout which we feel is more pleasing to the eye and less cluttered.
The top section of the site will provide featured posts on SMJ. Some of these may be dated, but it’s the content we feel are the top stories in the sports media world.
We hope the new look will empower us to provide more unique content. At least that’s the plan.
Take a moment to poke around the new site and get to me with any comments.
Most of all, continued thanks for your support!
