Three senior Ithaca College sports media students organized and hosted a panel discussing how esports, fantasy sports and gambling are causing the coverage of sports to change.

The growth in popularity of esports, fantasy sports and gambling have forced the sports media landscape to adjust and accommodate the increased interest in these fields. Seniors Brandon Ehrlich, Callie Dayno and Jared Anderson arranged a three-guest panel Oct. 26 via Zoom. Mead Loop, professor in the Department of Journalism and program director of Sport Media, served as the moderator for the panel. The two other speakers were Sam Factor ’19, CEO and Co-founder of WalterPicks, and Eben Novy-Williams, sports business reporter at Sportico.
