Fox Sports Brings on Laura McKeeman as First On-Air Social Media Reporter During Pac-12 Tournament
It has been a very busy year for the Pac-12 conference: it secured the largest TV rights deal in college sports history and is preparing to launch six regional networks later this fall. Yet the conference is always trying to stay on the innovate cusp of delivering information to its fans. Fox Sports also made an interesting move during it’s Men’s Basketball Tournament last weekend when Laura McKeeman was assigned to be the Social Media Reporter for the entirety of its on-air coverage. Fox Sports called the project “a first for TV sports event coverage – a dedicated ‘social media reporter’ popping up to report on relevant social media postings.”
