"Being a beat writer is a very exciting life," says *********, a beat writer the the New York Jets. she started out in college trying to go into a scientific career, but when she started to write for her college newspaper, she quickly realized she liked journalism better.
The life of a beat writer is very hectic and active, but can also be just as much fun. The work load is ever always increasing. It has gotten harder because of the different trends, such as blogging, and twitter. This makes the job more overwhelming, but it is countered by the ability to be allowed to go to games for free, get the best seats, and write about it. She also gets to work from home a lot, and likes not having to be in an office for eight hours a day. ***** says being a sports writer is a crazy, because you never know where your going to be the next day. She also likes writing for the Jets, because she gets to know the team and the players better. One thing ***** doesn't like about this job however, is all the stress it seems to bring. She always has to meet deadlines, and sometimes she is beat to getting a story. Sometimes she even gets called into work while she is on vacation. All in all, she says the job is worth it.
