Sports Journalist

A sports journalist is someone who reports on sporting events, writes articles, and provides commentary and analysis for newspapers, magazines, online publications, television, or radio. The job involves researching sports topics, interviewing athletes and coaches, attending matches, and keeping up to date with the latest news in the sports world. Sports journalists need excellent writing skills, a passion for sport, and the ability to work under tight deadlines, often during evenings or weekends. They may specialise in a particular sport or cover a range of events, and digital skills are increasingly important for online reporting or social media coverage.
