Peter King, the three-time National Sportswriter of the Year, who announced his retirement from full-time writing earlier this year, has joined Seton Hall University as a Professional-in-Residence this fall.
King will conduct three master classes for the Center for Sports Media. The first class, Building Relationships and Developing Sources took place earlier this week. King’s second session will be held next month. All of King’s master classes are open to all Seton Hall students.
“Peter King is one of the best journalists, sports or otherwise, of our era,” said Center for Sports Media Executive Director B.J. Schecter in a release. “His ability to get the biggest names in football to open up and let him inside the curtain is unparalleled. He’s also an innovator and has found unique ways to expand his reach and produce compelling content for multiple platforms.”
King’s second master class will be held in early October.
“I’m thrilled to welcome Mr. King to Seton Hall as a professional-in-residence,” said Bryan Crable, Ph.D., dean of the College of Human Development, Culture, and Media. “Throughout his career, he has not only adapted to the changing nature of the sports media industry but has been one of the most visible advocates of quality, ethics-based journalism—not just in sports, but in all forms of reporting. Our students, and our entire community, will benefit tremendously from his insight, expertise and mentorship, and his presence on campus speaks volumes about the growing national reputation of our Center for Sports Media.”
