Brad Schultz

I am the pastor of Zion Evangelical Church in Shelbyville, Indiana. The Lord called our family to Indiana in the summer of 2017, so we left academia after 15 years. I am a former Professor of Journalism at the School of Journalism & New Media at the University of Mississippi. I have produced 11 books, four documentaries, and more than two dozen scholarly papers on a variety of topics. My main interests were how new technologies affect sports journalism and other issues related to sports media. There are five documentaries on the site; two I did, and three student works that I supervised as class instructor. Two of the student works won a state Associated Press award for Best Documentary--a look at casinos in the state and the 50th anniversary of the underground atomic tests in Mississippi. The others are my productions--a look back at some Ole Miss sports heroes, and a program on the 1983 Egg Bowl, known as The Immaculate Deflection. I am not finished publishing; I have a book coming out in fall 2019 called "The Immaculate Reception: The NFL's Greatest Day," and the Fifth Edition of Media Relations in Sports.
