A Contested Matchup: Exclusivity, Pro Sports Coverage and Digital Newsrooms

  • Saturday - 11:30 AM - 12:30 PM
  • Olympic Ballroom I
  • #ONA15sports

How do these exclusive agreements affect coverage from pure-play digital sites and mesh with audience expectations in a mobile/social-saturated world? How long until websites, not TV networks, provide exclusive coverage of sporting events?
