Betting on Integrity: Rethinking Sports Journalism Ethics in the Age of Gambling

As legal sports betting becomes increasingly integrated into mainstream sports culture, sports journalists face new ethical dilemmas that challenge traditional notions of objectivity and professionalism. In this talk, Dr. Vincent Peña examines how the rise of sports gambling influences reporting, conflicts of interest, and fan engagement, prompting a critical reassessment of journalistic ethics in an era where the line between coverage and participation is increasingly blurred. He’ll discuss practical implications for journalists, sports bettors, fans, and sports media more broadly.
