The internet has opened up opportunities for citizens to write and share their thoughts with the broader public–beyond writing comments about pieces that others have written.

That’s what The Sports Column is all about. And one of our columnists, Roger Barbee, is what I call ‘a citizen journalist.’

In this episode of ‘Under the Radar,’ I share thoughts about citizen journalism and how it has evolved, and then Roger talks about his work.

About Frank Fear

I’m a Columnist at The Sports Column. My specialty is sports commentary with emphasis on sports reform, and I also serve as TSC’s Managing Editor. In the ME role I coordinate the daily flow of submissions from across the country and around the world, including editing and posting articles. I’m especially interested in enabling the development of young, aspiring writers. I can relate to them. I began covering sports in high school for my local newspaper, but then decided to pursue an academic career. For thirty-five-plus years I worked as a professor and administrator at Michigan State University. Now retired, it’s time to write again about sports. In 2023, I published “Band of Brothers, Then and Now: The Inspiring Story of the 1966-70 West Virginia University Football Mountaineers,” and I also produce a weekly YouTube program available on the Voice of College Football Network, “Mountaineer Locker Room, Then & Now.”
