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 a story that editors actually want, how to write for different formats and outlets, how to build a portfolio that gets you noticed, and how to navigate an industry that is changing faster than any curriculum can follow. Sessions are individual, adapted entirely to the mentee's current level, goals, and the specific opportunities they are pursuing.
