How to become a sports journalist in India

From a journalism degree to the press box — beats, languages, and how the digital shift changed the brief.

Step-by-step

  1. Complete a degree in journalism, mass communication or a related field.
  2. Build a portfolio: match reports, player features, opinion pieces on a personal blog or Substack.
  3. Intern with a print, digital or broadcast newsroom — regional language outlets often hire faster.
  4. Pick a beat: cricket is crowded, but football, kabaddi, athletics and women's sport reward specialists.
  5. Acquire video, social and short-form skills — every modern beat is multi-format.
