For my final project I am in the process of making a news video about the use of steroids in professional sports. I am essentially going to be a field reporter talking about the topic at FirstEnergy Stadium in Reading, Pa. I will be interviewing players from the Reading Fightin Phils on their opinions about steroids (hopefully they will all be against the idea). This way I will be able to get an accurate perspective on a very important topic.
Along with the players, I will also interview a few sports fans to find their opinion, so viewers can relate to the topic, being just an average person (not a professional athlete). A fan's perspective may differ from the athlete's, which could make the story a lot more interesting.
A few questions I will be asking during the interview will consist of:
Do you think performance enhancing drugs have tainted professional sports?
Do you feel that there are certain PEDs that should be allowed over others?
In your opinion, have professional athletic associations, such as the MLB, NFL, NBA ext., cracked down too hard on the use of PEDs?
Do you think known users of PEDs should be banned from the Hall of Fame of their sport? If not, should there something signifying the use PEDs?
The broadcast will run just about 5-7 minutes. I plan to interview both 5 athletes and fans, so I have enough footage incase of the possibility of cutting video.
Sounds like a good plan; again, you could get a college perspective too (or integrate some news articles into your report.)
