The question that inspires my interest in media is how can I turn what I love in Sports Journalism into a professional career?

Ever since I could remember, I have always wanted to have a career in the sports journalism industry. It all started with my love for the game of basketball. I was never the best at it, but it always meant the world to me. I saw it as an escape from the world around us to just relax and have fun, but to still have that competitive nature to it. Everyone I have ever talked to about it has always had something about my mind for the game or speaks about my passion towards it. So I thought to myself how can I turn something that I love, into a career. So that is when the idea of a sports journalism transpired.

So for the next part why this brings an interest to media in me is because of the connection and entertainment sports can bring us through media. We as a human race all have something we like in sports and media can help us bring that all together. Some of the best talks that I have had in my life have been over a simple instagram post in the comment section. It is small things like that, that can bring us all together to something to appreciate and escape from the real world.

I am hoping that while in college about how to take what I love to the next level into a career, that I will find ways to build connections and search the fields that have sports journalism to do with it. The main four careers in the sports journalism field I have interest in are photographer, analysts, broadcaster, and writer.
