Thanks for speaking with our chapter, @stefen_rosner!

[Stefen Rosner @stefen_rosner]

Thanks to @nickhirshon for having me on to speak to his @WPSPJ class about my career path and the power of social media in the sport journalism world.

It was a ton of fun, and I appreciate all the questions.

[William Paterson SPJ @WPSPJ]

According to Rosner, social media improves your professional presence and works as an online portfolio. He suggests using caution while posting content and expressing things on the internet.

[William Paterson SPJ @WPSPJ]

Stefen Rosner says, “ I will never be satisfied with where I’m at”.

[William Paterson SPJ @WPSPJ]

@stefen_rosner closing out the meeting “So definitely be smart about what you tweet if you want to be in this career field. It could impact your ability to get a job” #WPSPJREALITYCHECK

[William Paterson SPJ @WPSPJ]

He says to find stories that other people are not writing about, and set yourself apart from others.

[William Paterson SPJ @WPSPJ]

Rosner believes that not having a strong writing or grammar foundation from an early age was his biggest career obstacle. He is now working with the New York Islanders as a reporter! He encourages you to connect with people and have confidence in yourself.

[William Paterson SPJ @WPSPJ]

@stefen_rosner on how many tweets he posts about the team per day “It depends on the day I’d probably say 7 or 8 I dont have have a max. The last thing I want to do is overdo it.” #WPSPJREALITYCHECK

[William Paterson SPJ @WPSPJ]

@stefen_rosner “Without twitter I’m not here. So if your not using it, if you want to be in this field definitely do it. It doesn't matter if 1 person sees it or 20 at the end of the day the media is kind of your running portfolio.”#WPSPJREALITYCHECK

[William Paterson SPJ @WPSPJ]

@stefen_rosner spoke about his experience starting out “I just wanted the experience. I wrote for free for 3 years maybe. I knew it was important for my resume and important for me to just learn about the job.”#WPSPJREALITYCHECK

[William Paterson SPJ @WPSPJ]

@stefen_rosner “ getting the job was the grind and it’s a grind everyday. My mindset and it sounds cliche if im sitting at home not working I feel like someone is working harder.” #WPSPJREALITYCHECK

[William Paterson SPJ @WPSPJ]

@stefen_rosner advice on how to manage topics “ You have to manage what stories are important. Knowing what the best thing to do and that just comes from experience” #WPSPJREALITYCHECK

[William Paterson SPJ @WPSPJ]

@stefen_rosner touched on tips to connect with the players “The coolest part is when the cameras are off and your just talking to the players. I think that’s huge building that relationship.” #WPSPJREALITYCHECK
