The Munich Massacre: When Sports Became News
On September 5, 1972 the sports broadcasting world was changed forever, as the storied team at ABC Sports found themselves at the center of an unimaginable world tragedy, which unfolded only yards away from their German Broadcast Center. With most of the nation gathered to celebrate the heroes competing at the Summer Olympic Games in Munich, Roone Arledge and HIS team were instead faced with the horror of an unraveling hostage situation at the Olympic Village. The brave decisions, unprecedented pictures and humanity in storytelling are forever woven into the historic fabric of our industry. Now the basis of a motion picture, September 5, SVG will honor this live merger of news and sports with a look-back at that event and the people who helped viewers around the world follow the hostage crisis. Their lessons and leadership influence and inspire the best in our profession today, and the session will help your team get ready for the moment when sports becomes news.
