Sports Illustrated

Studying a Magazine

Sports Illustrated is an American run magazine, run by Time Warner, that has been in circulation for 55 years and that focuses on description of various events, which include, in the magazine's own words, sports news, scores, photos, columns and expert analysis from the world of sports including NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, NASCAR, college basketball, and many others. Sports Illustrated, or SI, offers the readers, who are primarily male (though the magazine and the website has also been able to appeal to female viewers as well more recently), everything from photos, in-depth sports reporting, cards, football awards, swimsuit issues, segments on sports related things, and awards for sportsmen and women's accomplishments.

Sports Illustrated runs a variety of articles that are mostly connected to-you guessed it-sports. For example, by going to the website, one can see at least 13 "top headlines" in the right hand side of the screen, all related to various sports teams across the country. Some titles, which comprise video segments, include:

-Kentucky's Lamb to return for sophomore season

-Canucks aim to finish sweep of reigning champs

-Tressel's $250K fine may not cover cost of probe

-NHL reaches new TV deal to stay on NBC, Versus

-Bolts' Downie, Pens' Kunitz must sit out Game 3

New York (Sports Illustrated Staff) -- [Article Section]

For awhile now Sports Illustrated has been at the forefront of sports news and other sports related issues. The SI website alone is visited by thousands if not hundreds of thousands of people a day, according to the Website's administrator. "We love the traffic we see on the website, and are happy that both males and females enjoy our news and other sports related information."

Since the 1950's, SI has been able to provide hungry fans with the most comprehensive articles and updates on their favorite teams and their favorite players. And for a few decades now, the SI conglomerate has also published a Swimsuit issue of the magazine, which attracts both males and females, the latter which often are able to discern new trends in swimsuit apparel.

The latest SI news, for example, which are on the website concern the NFL, a major source of news, indeed, and the fact that players resumed mediation. The article written on this topic, which joins almost 13 in view on the website's front page 24 hours, 7 days a week, is a comprehensive coverage review on Jerry Jones' joining of mediation talks.

The magazine, as well as the site are easy to read, and customer service is always at your disposal, should you have any questions. Furthermore, the About Us section of the website is easy to navigate, and can help a reader find out more about the staff of Sports Illustrated.
