SPORTS ILLUSTRATED employs enterprising reporting, lively writing, vivid photography and robust design to cover sports and relate them to the world at large. SPORTS ILLUSTRATED also seeks to entertain. Our loyalty is not to any athlete, team or league but rather to the sports they play or oversee. We have an uncommonly strong bond with our readers. Many of them started reading SI in their teens and have continued to do so into middle age. They comprise a diverse  Audience unified in its appreciation of good writing and good photography.
