Journalist Jared Diamond Follows The Mets
Check out the full episode here:
As a journalist, Jared, gets to write for the Wall Street Journal following the
New York Mets around the country!
Jared grew up muting the TV, while watching sports, to do his own commentary.
While he loved sports, he knew that he wasn’t a great athlete and quickly
adjusted his sights to being a journalist. He would go onto Syracuse University
to become a sports journalist.
Jared went straight to his school’s newspaper willing to write about any sports
they would assign to him. He rapidly found success being a journalist there and
quickly found himself getting the best assignments to write for, and eventually
was the top sports journalist for the paper. Right after school, he found an
internship with the Triple-A baseball team the Norfolk Tides.
Once Jared found himself out of school and his internship was over, he had to
figure out his next move. He was fortunate enough to get a break with someone he
met getting him an interview at the Wall Street Journal. Working there for about
two years before finally getting a break to move up into following the New York
Mets around nearly all year long.
In this episode, Jared discusses the importance of networking, as well as paying
it forward when it comes to getting an interview or giving someone else an
opportunity to interview.
