Individual Sports Journalism Mentoring
One-on-one mentoring for students and early-career journalists covering sport. Structuring stories, building a portfolio, finding your angle, pitching to editors, and understanding how the industry actually works — from someone who has worked across newspaper, radio, television, digital, and independent media.
Sports journalism is one of the most competitive fields in media, and most journalism education stops well short of the specific skills it requires. This mentoring fills that gap: how to find and develop stories, how to build sources, how to write for different outlets and formats, and how to position yourself in a crowded field. One-on-one, sustained over time, and grounded in real editorial practice.
