Hello Folks

Hello Folks. My name is Jonathan Wingate and my goal with this blog will be to help you find information about journalism and what you have to go through to become a successful one. More exactly I will be talking about sports journalism. Its not the most popular job in the world these days but for a kid who has grown up around sports and have been playing since he could walk and run, its the best job in the world to me. Sports writers like Chris Mortenson, J.A Andande, and Erin Andrews keep the sports world more interesting just by tweeting on twitter.

Growing up I wanted to go into sports medicine but then I realized how boring that was as a I got older and noticed how long it would take to become a doctor. Trying to be a sports writer will take less time and you can almost do it anywhere. If your town has a local newspaper or any kind of newstation, they will need a sports section where you can show off your knowledge and skills about sports. However you most likely will not make anything near 3 digits on your salary but at least its job you can wake up and be happy to do. There's always something "NEW" going on in the sports world. There isn't one day where your sitting still staring into a computer screen trying to think of an excuse just to leave early. If your lucky you'll get to meet athletes like Derek Jeter, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and young guns like Mike Trout and Bryce Harper.

Sports Journalism isn't just a job, its a career that will bring memories that you'll never forget. Cinderella stories, major upsets, breaking news are just a few that will happen along this road of being a writer. Its a career that will bring smiles and laughs to you but its also a career that might make you confused. Its not the easiest career but its defiantly one of funnest and most eventful ones. Which makes it just that more interesting to me.
