IP Topic

For my issues paper topic I was thinking of doing something with sports and the media. How about the role of media in constructing the public's perception of athletes? I'd talk about stuff like how sportswriters try to break any story they can and often don't get their facts straight just so the writers have some sort of story. Also how new media has made athlete's lives less private.

    I feel like you could go in a lot of different directions here. I like where you are going with it right now but something you may also want to think about is how the media of other companies use athletes to promote different products and the effect that may have on people.

    This could be really interesting. Do you have specific athletes in mind? You'll probably want to focus either on public perception of athletes OR the issues with making athlete's lives less private; but both are viable options.
