UserWiki:J Cunningham
I'm Jeff Cunningham, and I graduated this past May from Old Dominion University with a B.S. in Communication. While studying the concepts of mass media and journalism, I spent four years as a sports writer for the campus paper, The Mace & Crown, and I was also play-by-play man for ODU basketball and baseball for the campus radio station WODU Radio.
I'm currently an administrator for HRVarsity, a website dedicated to covering local high school athletics in Hampton Roads, Virginia. It began on the Peninsula, as a part of the Daily Press, but is establishing its own identity and they hired me to handle the expansion into the Southside region of Hampton Roads.
I'm also still in the process of trying to start up a weekly sports show about local college sports for local TV station WGBS. It's been in the planning stages for almost a year now, and we're nearing the point where I'm concinced it'll never take off, but who know? It soon might.
My ultimate dream is a position as either a sports writer or sportscaster, with the eventual goal of being a play-by-play man in baseball, college basketball or football with ESPN. If I could call a World Series or a Final Four just once in my life, that would be a dream come true.
The vast majority of what I'll be writing on this site will be opinions, since my favorite part of being a sports writer in college was keeping a weekly column (formerly "Under the Stetson", later changed to "From the Broadcast Booth"). In fact, I have a sports-related blog at Blogspot called "From the Broadcast Booth."
Feel free to leave comments on my work and engage in discussions; sometimes feedback is the best way to improve.
