Education Abroad

SpainGlobal Sports, Media and Entertainment

This course will use international leagues and relationships to examine how the sports, media and entertainment business operates outside of the U.S. We will look at how these international sports media are working to get into the American market. The course consists of lectures, both from UNL faculty and guest lecturers; coverage of professional soccer matches in Spain; production of media content; visits to sites where media content is produced, where sports entities are headquartered, and where media messages are managed (e.g., ad agencies, public relations firms, television networks). Students will earn three UNL credit hours for the special topics course SPMC 391. Questions can be sent to John Shrader (john.shrader@unl.edu).
