Personal Preference

I am a print guy. That's what I've always wanted to be, that's what I am currently, and that is what I will (hopefully) will be in my career. But if given a choice between writing for either television or radio, I would pick radio in a second. Yet choosing between reporting for television or radio, I would choose television in a heartbeat

I don't have a "radio voice" or "television looks" (maybe that's why I ended up in print after all), but I feel like I have that radio personality. I think I could be a very solid sports talk show host on the radio, and that has in fact been a secret dream of mine. I have the ability to be controversial, slightly arrogant, and knowledgeable about sports, so I'll fit right in. But that is neither here nor there.

Frankly, writing for radio seems easier than writing for television. To be honest, it just seems slightly easier and I would prefer that. Yet reporting for television allows you to get your name out there easier, and there is more money in the field of television reporting than radio reporting. There are more opportunities to do different types of stories as well, a la Tom Rinaldi of ESPN, who does everything you could possibly think of on every single ESPN show it seems. I do idolize him after all, so maybe that factors in to choosing a TV reporter. But the benefits of television reporting outweigh that of being a radio reporter, and it is vice versa for radio. The only thing I got out of this choice was an even stronger conviction to being a print guy
