The award-winning personality talked with students for nearly 70-minutes via a conference call from Bristol.“The fact that you are in this program (Sports Link) and getting this experience puts you ahead of a lot of the other people also trying to get jobs,” Anderson said. Anderson joined ESPN in June 1999 and now anchors SportsCenter, ESPN’s flagship sports news program. He works the 11 p.m. one-hour edition. SportsCenter earned Emmy Awards in 2004 and 2005 in the daily studio show category. Among many topics Anderson covered during the call, he stressed the importance of writing to the profession. “The more and better I write, the less I have to talk,” Anderson said. “Writing distinguishes you from others. Learn to write well, because the more you do, the more you find your voice. Just because you don’t see the words on paper or on a screen, they are just as important.” Read More. |
