Neutral Experts: Sometimes You Don't Need To Find One ...

... sometimes, they'll find you!

Last week, I got this email via a college media advisers list serv:

If your students are working on Penn State, Joe Paterno stories -
please feel free to have them contact me with questions concerning fan
reactions, etc.

My expertise is in fan reactions to/judgments of athlete behaviors
(and by extension, administrators, teams, programs) - fan identity,
socialization, and motivation. Our new edited anthology on sports
fandom entitled "Sports Fans, Identity and Socialization: Exploring
the Fandemonium" is due out at the end of this month.

Students can email me directly at acearnheardt@ysu.edu and I will
provide the best number to call.

Thanks!

Adam

Again, let me remind you there is a neutral expert for everything. And those experts are probably on a campus somewhere.
