Fantasy Sports Writers Association
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Fantasy Sports Writers Association (FSWA) was formed in 2004 to represent the growing number of journalists covering fantasy sports exclusively. The FSWA is comprised of writers and editors from both online and traditional media outlets.
The FSWA offers a newsletter and a network to inform members of job openings and industry happenings. The board of directors of the FSWA includes editors and writers from various fantasy companies both large and small, including CBS Sportsline, RotoWire.com, USA Today, Sports Illustrated, FoxSports and SportsGrumblings.com.
