We have to build students&#8217; foundations the same way, but look at other burgeoning parts of the industry \u2013 multimedia platform journalists. We want multimedia experts.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Robinson said that when it comes to research, they want to set the standard for how race and sports are viewed together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cWe are coming from a place where we give a perspective from the African American community, so when we look at issues, we don\u2019t want to do what everyone else is doing,\u201d Robinson said. \u201cWe want to give you a perspective from our community where we\u2019re doing research, where we\u2019re invested. Our students and their parents come to us and they are looking for that experience. They know where they\u2019re going and it\u2019s a part of our DNA.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tyus Sansbury, a current senior at Virginia State University, attended the session and said that he was inspired by the fact that Morgan State has a student-run TV show and he would like to start one of his own.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cI want to be a sports analyst or play-by-play announcer and I think it would be a good thing for us to develop one of those things because I know other people at my school that want to be the same thing that I want to be,\u201d Sansbury said. \u201cI\u2019m not saying we don\u2019t have the necessary opportunities, but creating more opportunities for people coming behind me is a great thing to do.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><br style=\"font-weight: 400\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By: Jacob Hall, Abigail Clark LAS VEGAS, Nev. \u2013\u00a0At the BEA Conference, a trio of faculty members from Morgan State University participated in a panel about creating a new age sports journalism program that is intertwined with research, while also bringing race to the forefront of the discussion.\u00a0 Edward G.
