Introduction: I work as a Beat Sports writer (covering NBA, NFL, and college basketball).
As a sports reporter, my focus is on breaking news, beat reporting, strong game and event coverage, and source development. I am a part of a more extensive team responsible for regional, as well as national sports coverage, and will work across multiple formats.
I work with the regional sports editor, reporting to the assistant regional sports editor not just to set priorities, but also to develop enterprise reporting and aggressive spot for the global newspaper audience.
The following are my responsibilities:

- I organize and coordinate freelancers for sports coverage as required in state.
