Abstract
This essay undertakes to examine the interplay between ethics and the media coverage of homosexuality in sport through the lens of college sport journalism, specifically the factors to be considered when determining when sexuality and related issues are newsworthy and whether there are ways to better prepare student sport journalists in dealing with these issues. Anticipating that there will be a need for college sport journalists to be engaged with these issues as they move forward to assume roles as thought influencers in the world of professional sport journalism, a framework for considering the news value of stories on lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) athletes and issues related to homophobia in sport is developed using principles outlined in the Society of Professional Journalists Code of Ethics.
