While in the process of putting together as many details and helpful hints as possible for our next Baltimore Sports Media Superstar, I’ve been going through some old blogs and media information that I’ve dispersed over the years here at WNST.net.
All of the details of our Baltimore Sports Media Superstar search and competition are now a click away if you want to be a contestant: http://wnst.net/wordpress/wnst/the-2012-baltimore-sports-media-superstar-search-is-underway-at-wnst-net/
This recent blog is very thorough and should answer all of your questions and most of your concerns. I sincerely hope you join the competition and begin your first blog today! This weekend has been active with participation and questions and entries to nasty@wnst.net.
Please do not send docx files as attachments. I’d appreciate all resumes in a pdf or .doc format for sharing purposes.
Also, our hashtag for the competition will be #WNSTBSMS and all Twitter activity should include this easy 8-digit shortcode for WNST Baltimore Sports Media Superstar.
If you want some extended reading, helpful hints and some of the WNST philosophy (and reality) please see my “State of Baltimore Sports Media” series from January 2010 here:
Part 1: Where Do You Get Your Info and Whom Do You Trust In Baltimore Media?
Part 2: How Does WNST Measure Up To Other Baltimore Media?
Part 3: Content and Distribution: Sharing Is Caring
Part 4: Power of Partnership: Flogging The Flag
Part 5: What Is The Future Of Sports Media In Baltimore?
And my three-part update in May 2011:
Part 1: What WNST Stands For In Local Media
Part 2: Journalism is dead…but not at WNST
Part 3: People Ask Me All The Time, “How Big Is Your Stick?”
These blogs are almost a “handbook” and should make the position and our needs at WNST.net even more clear. But, granted, it’s going to take you a few hours to read it and years to digest it but the more you know and understand about the local sports media industry the greater your chances of success.
I wish someone would’ve given me a handbook back in 1992 😉
As a bonus, here’s Part 3 of my Loyola lecture on women, video and mobile streaming in 2012…
