In preparation for Elaine Teng and Dotun Akintoye’s visit I have prepared these questions.
Elaine Teng:
- What is your typical day to day like?
- Do you have specific people you edit, or does it change all the time?
- How did you end up in Journalism after getting a degree in European Studies?
- What’s the biggest difference between your editing experiences at The New Republic and ESPN?
- What made you want to cover esports?
Dotun Akintoye
- How did you end up in Journalism?
- What’s your favorite story you’ve worked on?
- Do you prefer editing duties or writing more? Why?
- What made you so interested in boxing? Has the deal with Top Rank Boxing helped you get access at all?
- What is it in a story that makes you want to write it?
Story proposal: Cover the inequalities between the U.S. womens and mens national soccer teams and how it took an outside entity to ensure the women get bonuses, despite them being the more successful team.
