Each year, the WVU Perley Isaac Reed School of Journalism hosts Journalism Week, a week-long series of events aimed at exploring a current media issue.

Journalism Week 2009, “From the Sidelines to Online: The Evolution of Sports Journalism and Communications,” examines how changes in the media landscape have impacted both sports journalism and strategic communications.

This year's events include public and classroom presentations by national and regional sports writers, broadcasters, bloggers and photojournalists.
