Patricia Duong’s Biography

Read Full Bio →

I am Patricia Duong, a Broadcast and Digital Journalism graduate student on the Sports Media Communications at the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University.

With a genuine passion for sports, I aim to pursue a career in sports broadcasting to humanize athletes and share their personal journeys with authenticity. As a former athlete myself, I understand the importance of highlighting the stories behind the players.

In addition to my love for traditional sports media…

What was your first job as a journalist?

My first job as a journalist was as a reporter and producer for the student-run newscast at Syracuse University’s Newhouse School. I was responsible for covering local stories, conducting interviews, and producing segments for our daily broadcasts. This role gave me hands-on experience in every aspect of the newsroom, from writing and editing to on-air reporting. It was an incredible learning experience that laid the foundation for my career and fueled my passion for storytelling.

Have you ever used a typewriter?

No, I have not.

How is social media changing news?

Social media has revolutionized news by accelerating the speed of dissemination and enabling broader public participation in news sharing and creation. It allows for personalized content delivery through algorithms, which can reinforce existing biases. The shift in news consumption from traditional platforms to social media challenges traditional revenue models and gatekeeping roles, increasing the need for media adaptability and greater scrutiny of information authenticity.
