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.

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.
43
Stefen Rosner says, “ I will never be satisfied with where I’m at”.
37
He says to find stories that other people are not writing about, and set yourself apart from others.
36
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.
42
Rosner says being a fan while covering sports does change things. Says it was a "huge mental" switch for him. He says he realized quickly on that he had to separate the athlete from person. He says the fan in him did die quickly on the job.
45
He went on to speak about how he disagrees with the notion that you need to know people. He says he just posted a lot on social media and then reached out to people he didn't know asking if they could get on a call so he could ask for advice.
45
Rosner talked about his journey and difficulties to becoming a sports reporter. He says his biggest benefit was that he knew sports but that he wasn't a strong writer.
46
Rosner says your bio for social media is important to let people know who you are. He says to get started in covering sports "make your twitter." He says if the Giants make a signing, make a two minute video on your opinion on the signing. Just engage in the conversation.
46
He says reporting is a grind, you have to sacrifice a lot. He says he made the sacrifice to stay in and cover Islanders games when he was just doing it for fun instead of going out with friends. He says you have to go 110% if this what you want to do.
47
Rosner says he does not like to have a lot of gaps in his tweets. To always keep yourself in the conversation. You can tweet as much as you want and fans are always refreshing social media looking for content on their teams.
41
Rosner grew up an Islanders fan now covering the team acknowledged he was at first star-struck when he started. He talks about how when covering a team it's important to build relationships with the players. To build trust with them. He says to never ask yes or no questions.
