Broadcast Journalism

Broadcast journalism has always been a favorite of mine. Growing up and watching the color commentary and game highlights inspired me once I found journalism. The opportunities I’ve had through broadcast journalism have opened my eyes to newer subjects of interest, even within the sphere of sports journalism.

An Interview Turned Podcast

I had the special opportunity to interview WNBA co-defensive player of the year, and Minnesota Lynx star forward Alanna Smith, for a school assembly. I then turned the interview into a special edition of the Talon Sports Podcast. The interview dove deeper into who Smith is as a person outside her sport, and focused on elements of faith, something that is a core part of Minnehaha Academy.

Sports Updates

Inspired by TSN’s daily Sportscentre videos giving sports fans updates across the sports world. My friend and I began to make a similar video updating students on their peers in their sporting events. While my friend and I co-hosted, I also put together the scripts, which included sports stats, and put together the videos, including clips and photos of the different sports.

We also had a special end-of-season episode, where we had interviews with athletes in which we learned more about them and the season they had. We even had the opportunity to interview one of the star soccer players, Donovan Sinicropi, Mr. Soccer 2024.

Podcast

I also recently started a podcast where I talk about mostly hockey and occasionally some women’s sports.
