sideline reporters

Courtside interview staff

Sideline reporters are broadcast journalists who cover sporting events from the field or court rather than the press box.

They interview coaches and players, report on injuries, and provide updates from ground level during games: The sideline reporter caught the coach for a quick halftime interview.

The role combines sports journalism with live television presence.
