Today, July 2, is the International Sports Journalists' Day. Maybe many people don't know about this. To be honest, Xiaoxin doesn't know about it. After all, the holiday that is not a holiday is almost the same for Xiaoxin.

However, the leaders issued an emergency notice, saying that they would write articles for this festival and write about their feelings as sports reporters in recent years. Xiaoxin was shocked at that time, could this be "fishing law enforcement"? Write everything in your heart, and tomorrow Xiaoxin might have to start casting resumes to find work...
But thinking about it, Xiaoxin is now in an awkward age where Children’s Day and Old Man’s Day are not. It’s not easy to have a festival dedicated to yourself, so let’s talk to everyone about what a sports reporter is doing. .
Sports reporters, as the name suggests, are journalists who report sports news.
The sports reporters are those who are squeezed and deformed in the crowd but hold the recorder steadily, who are accidentally thrown by the player with the ball and turned to the camera, and who madly hit the keyboard among the cheering audience.

In 1995, at the Congress of the International Sports Journalists Association, July 2 was designated as the Sports Journalists’ Festival every year.
Xiaoxin understand, this celebration should include various media to give sports reporters a holiday, send a red envelope and the like. (Editor teacher, after seeing this sentence, please delete it when posting, thank you.) (Send a red envelope first)
Among the sports reporters, Xiaoxin is still used and has been in the business for more than four years. He has reported a lot of big and small events and met many big-name sports stars.
When I was young, I thought it would be nice to be a sports reporter, watch games for free, and interview face-to-face with the goddesses. But after working for several years, I found myself slightly naive when I was a kid.
The game can indeed be watched for free, but there is something unreliable in my heart! Other audiences held their breaths and waited to see the lore, but lore is definitely the natural enemy of sports reporters. The game situation was reversed in an instant. You can only press the delete key in the word to delete all the frames that have been prepared before, and you also said with a smile, this The ball is really wonderful.
In addition to this, I had to hold my phone so I was afraid that the screen was not recorded. My head had to figure out where to go to the mixed mining area to grab a good position soon. At that moment, the sports reporter's brain computing speed can outperform the fastest computer processor.
In order to adjust his remote camera, a photographer lies directly on the ground.
In this new media era, time is money. The manuscript is one minute late, and the reading can be thousands or tens of thousands. Some games cannot go live, stare in front of the TV, and dare not relax at the same moment.
A colleague of Xiaoxin, a senior sports reporter, once said: "I have gone through so many World Cups, and I have not watched a complete game. The game has not started, bow down to prepare; the game starts, bow down to write; the game ends It’s a low draft. It’s dawn, the replay starts, and I’m going to sleep.”
Colleagues worked overtime to stare at the game, drove away their wives and children from the living room. At the end of the game, the wives and children broke into the door: "After the game is over, let's sleep!" Colleagues chuckled: "The game is over and the work is here."
@們同行, do you have this kind of experience? (Oh, forget that some of you are single dogs, so busy that you have no time to find objects~ hehe)

The game started everywhere, sports reporters were everywhere. Business trips are common. Do you think business trips are just hanging out? Let's put it this way, Xiaoxin traveled several times last year and didn't have time to go out to play.
Only one evening without interviews or writing articles, went out for a walk and was bitten by mosquitoes for four packets. Why? Because many competition venues are in the suburbs, the stadium is large and beautiful, and there are many and fierce mosquitoes.
Some people may ask, can't you write less manuscripts? Wouldn't it be possible to wait until the game is over? According to the experience of Xiaoxin over the past few years, big news will basically be produced if the manuscript is not prepared.
Here, Xiaoxin does not describe in detail the misfortune that Zhou Qi's sideline service caused his colleagues to change 1000 words and stay up late for Messi's 700th goal and waited for four games.
In the early morning of July 1, Beijing time, in the 33rd round of La Liga, Barcelona faced Atletico Madrid. In the second half, Messi took a penalty kick to complete his 700th goal of his career.
It stands to reason that it is so hard, you should be able to be tired and thin, but the reality is cruel. Xiaoxin and colleagues in the department have witnessed the process of "expansion" of each other. It is said that a former colleague once had 120 jin when he joined the job and 210 jin when he left.
The reason is mainly caused by irregular work and diet. Asked a colleague who interviewed the Olympics how he felt that he never wanted to eat chocolate again in his life--
Stay up late in the evening to write a manuscript, do not come to eat breakfast in the morning, the food sold in the venues is expensive and unpalatable, and can only be filled with chocolate. "After eating for several days, my stomach is sour."
This kind of junk food is the culprit of being blessed. Of course, even now the leaders are handsome even if they are blessed. (Editor teacher, this period of trouble helps to bold.) (That must be)
Reporter, often accompanied by junk food.
In the past few years, Xiaoxin has fully satisfied his curiosity when he was a child, and even a little too full. It is strange to say that, while complaining about how tired the work is, writing a good draft is happier than anyone else.
The sudden new pneumonia epidemic situation at the beginning of this year has not only impacted all walks of life, but also our sports reporters were not spared. The current affairs reporter in the next department was too busy to hit the back of the head. Our sports department watched the full-screen game postponement notice and squinted.
There is no need to stare at the game, and I am not used to it when I am idle. It was originally a group of people who liked sports and were willing to continue to express. They usually said that this league is not good, and that game almost means. By this time, than everyone hopes that they will recover quickly.

Fortunately, a few days ago, the CBA League finally replayed after thousands of calls, and a few colleagues who usually write basketball became irrelevant!
In the fierce discussion, the sigh of a colleague who wrote Chinese football next door occasionally came. He usually talks the most fiercely about Chinese football, but when the national junior team is looked down on, he still has to reasonably popularize "this year's hope" with everyone.
As more and more events gradually resume, recently sports reporters have finally been busy again. Some people say that you must not take interest as a job, otherwise interest may become disgusted, but sports reporters do not seem to be within the scope of this description. Usually the most lively within the department at two times, one is when discussing a certain game, and the other is when discussing what to eat at noon.
In the past few years, Xiaoxin, who is not old, has also witnessed some peers leave the sports industry. Some of the sports reporters in the circle of friends who went out for interviews in the past have stopped doing sports, while others have simply stopped being reporters.
Some of them have a baby because they have become a family and need a more stable working environment, some have found a higher-paying job, and some have canceled the sports sector because of their media.

But chatting with them, talking about being a sports reporter in those years, is still a lot of fun. Journalists who catch the bus together can become friends in a few days. It is also common to share audio interviews when writing interviews.
Everyone has seen each other gobbling in the reporter's village cafeteria, it is considered a short-term comrade-in-arms. When we recall, we often forget the fatigue at the time, and remember those interesting details.
The current status of sports reporters can also be seen as a microcosm of the media environment in recent years. It is foreseeable that due to the impact of the epidemic, the life of the sports media will not be too good this year.
However, I am accustomed to the buzzer whistle lore, I am accustomed to the big score turnover, I am accustomed to the king who has returned so many times on the playing field, we sports reporters, there is nothing to be afraid of! (Author Wang Hao)
