My name is Ben Whitlock, and I am an aspiring young sports journalist, studying Multimedia Journalsim at Bournemouth University. I am very passionate about sports, specifically basketball, football and golf. I am a big fan of both Southampton FC and the Golden State Warriors. My dream is to one day move to America to work, and pursue my ambition of becoming a sports journalist working with the NBA. My favoured platform of journalism is broadcast, and I thoroughly enjoy writing blogs, reviews etc, and want to carry on doing this as my career develops.
