- My name is Josh Stickrod, this is my second term at Linn Benton, and I am pursuing a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication.
- If I had to pick a dream job it would be to be a writer for a major sports media publication. i.e. (ESPN, Sports Illustrated, Bleacher Report, Fox Sports, etc.) I am a huge sports nerd and would love to work with the best of the best in sports entertainment and cover nationally televised events.
- The thing I am most interested in learning about the media is the marketing aspect of it. I see ads all day and I want to know the science that marketers use to determine what should and should not be in an ad.
- My favorite sports are Football, Basketball and Soccer. I am a big fan of the Patriots, Trail Blazers, and Timbers.
- I would say I'm pretty passionate about sports. I feel it is the rawest form of entertainment because the drama is all real, with real people, and many awesome and inspiring stories that can be explored.
Topic 2
- ESPN Fantasy Football (http://www.espn.com/fantasy/)
- I found this site 8 years ago when I started playing fantasy sports with my friends and family.
- I love competing against people I know and talking smack to them when I inevitably beat them in Fantasy Sports. It also has up to the minute stats and pretty solid insight on player performances.
- Walt Disney Corporation owns ESPN
- Watch ESPN (http://www.espn.com/watchespn/)
- I was introduced to this site when it came out and since then is where I view pretty much all of my sports related media. It has great shows like Sports Center, PTI, OTL, 30 for 30, and Around the Horn. It also streams major sporting events like the NCAA football National Championship, many NBA playoff games including the NBA Finals, and also streams Monday Night football.
- It's incredibly easy to access and has a lot of awesome programs for the huge sports fanatic I am.
- Wald Disney Corporation owns ESPN
- The Herd Podcast (http://foxsportsradio.iheart.com/media/podcast-the-herd-with-colin-cowherd-The_Herd_Hours)
- I was introduced to the show when it ran on ESPN three years ago I was watching Watch ESPN and it came on. Since then it has moved to FS1 and has a podcast version as well.
- Colin Cowherd is the host and I agree with him on most of his takes on the current world of sports. He's a guy who tells it like it is and doesn't apologize for it.
- Fox Sports is owned by 21st Century Fox
- It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jfWMB-blQS8)
- I'm not just a sports fanatic that watches ESPN all day, I really love to watch many shows on Netflix as well. My favorite show has to be It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. I was introduced to this show by my friend back in high school.
- It has a unique form of comedy that sets up some of the most ridiculous situations and some of the best writing and line delivery on television. One of the few shows on TV that can make me laugh out loud when I'm just sitting there watching it by myself.
- It's on the FX network which is owned by 21st Century Fox.
