Episode notes
In this engaging interview, Donnovan Bennett shares his journey from athlete to sports media professional, emphasizing resilience, relationship-building, and the importance of authenticity in media.
Discover insights on overcoming adversity, leveraging relationships, and the future of media in the digital age. He began his media career covering the university sport world he had just left behind for The Score, before expanding into amateur sport in general, and eventually reporting on sport overall.
Bennett landed at Sportsnet in 2013, and has continued to add more responsibilities to his work there over the last decade, but still remembers to put himself in athletes’ shoes. After a combined 17 years at The Score and Sportsnet, my chapter at Rogers Sports and Media has come to a close. He is on the likes of CBC Sports.
