Interview with young EPSN reporter

There aren't many red-blooded American college kids that don't dream of working at ESPN. But while most are consumed with cutting class and pondering their next pizza topping, one student at Northwestern actually acted on that faraway fantasy - ESPN Sports Business reporter Darren Rovell...

Rovell worked hard in college, reading books, writing, and creating his own call-in radio show.

A few students in my "Practice of Journalism" course last year were surprised at how much writing the course entailed. Here's a look at what Rovell's job is like:

"I write about 200 articles a year for the site [ESPN.com]. I do ESPNEWS, SportsCenter, Radio and magazine as they need me. So far this year, I've done over 100 radio interviews and close to 40 TV segments, so it certainly does get busy."
