The Rough Draft

Over the weekend, I did an offline podcast just to see how I it would run and how I sounded as an announcer. As I was talking weekly predictions and trade rumors, I talked a little too fast and mumbled a couple of times. I watched a couple of videos with Al Michaels and Chris Collinsworth announcing games. They seemed really calm, as they provided a play-by-play announcement during NFL games and they related the topics to the audience very well. While watching these videos, I got an idea on a couple other ideas that I could make for the genius project. I would like to do a commentary of top 10 plays of the week, and commentating during NBA, MLB, NHL, and NFL games. These commentating ideas would provide me with more depth of understanding for hockey because I want to become more diverse in multiple sports to give me the best chance for a job offer right out of college

I plan on keeping a update of breaking sports news from a variety of sports to broaden my horizon on all sports like I previously said. This will help get me ready for any journalism class at any university. I plan on majoring in sports journalism or broadcasting to follow my dream to succeed. When I toured Arizona State University's sports journalism program, one of the students told me that they cover Pac-12 sports! Arizona State University is right by the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Phoenix Suns stadiums. This will help me get ready for any internship that I would like to do while I am at ASU.

So far in multimedia journalism, my elective, I have become the sports editor with Drake Benner. Together, we have proof read and written many articles for The Sage. The Sage has been an amazing experience for me because I can see what it is like to work at a real newspaper like Ms. Hunter’s brother.
