What's wrong with sports reporting?

Sports journalism has been under scrutiny in recent weeks, mainly due to the Fifa World Cup escapades.

Now, ahead of the Olympics, the Royal Television Society is to stage a debate on the topic called What's wrong with sports reporting?

On the panel will be Tom Bower, award-winning author of Broken Dreams, an investigation into corruption in English football; Andrew Jennings, the leading writer on international sporting corruption and presenter of several TV documentaries on the subject; and Roger Mosey, former head of sport at the BBC, and now the corporation's director of the London Olympics.

In the chair will be the shadow minister for the Olympics, Tessa Jowell

The event is being held on Tuesday 18 January, 6.30pm - 8pm, at Cavendish Conference Centre, 22 Duchess Mews, London W1.

Tickets cost £12.50 and must be booked in advance. Details available on the RTS website.
