What does it mean to be a journalist?
To me, being a journalist means telling stories that are accurate, engaging, and meaningful. It’s about informing audiences with credibility while also capturing the human side of the game. A journalist doesn’t just report facts, they provide context, create connections, and give people a reason to care about the story.
