Sports Journalism ... a little different

Sports journalists typically go to sporting events, and write about them. They also pick and choose who they want to do a story on. I've been doing this for quite some time.

In college, if you are pursuing a journalism major, you are going to do things that involve just plain news. I can't write sports stories and feature stories and expect a degree in journalism. Thus, I wonder if conference board meetings, and IHSA town hall meetings are open the to public, or media? Think about it, you rarely see this.

I'm planning on attending Kewanee's school board meeting next Monday. They may briefly discuss the possibility of leaving the NCIC. Do I make a story out of that?
