Weekly Journal

For my weekly media consumption I watched Sportscenter on the ESPN network. The thing I noticed the most watching it this week was their bias to east coast teams. I believe this has something to do with them located in Bristol, Connecticut. I noticed their bias when they started their show with 4 straight sports clips of Eastern coast teams including Boston, New York, University of Connecticut and Duke. They also played up the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Arizona Cardinals in the upcoming Super Bowl. The more I watched the more I realized the time they spend on east coast teams as opposed to the west coast teams. After researching the internet I realized that most of the people they hire are from the east which explains the bias. Despite the bias, I think I'll continue to watch ESPN and Sportscenter on a daily basis.
