MIGUEL MUÑOZ

Northwestern student, aspiring journalist

I am an aspiring sports journalist with experience in sideline reporting, anchoring, writing, and social media. I am currently a sophomore at Northwestern University’s Medill School of Journalism.

At Northwestern (NU), I am a sports broadcaster and Social Media Manager for NNN Sports, the sports division of NU student television; Managing Editor at InsideNU, NU’s premier sports news outlet and SBNational affiliate; and host for the student-run radio station WNUR.

I also served as a contributing writer for USA Today’s Hispanic Living Magazine and for LatinoSports.com.

on-air reporting

I jumped into on-air my freshman fall and never looked back. I fell in love with the creativity and spontaneity of being in front of the camera. On-air reporting has become my passion.

These are a few of my favorite clips.

writing

Writing was my entryway into the world of sports journalism. I joined my high school newspaper in ninth grade and soon realized journalism was the route I wanted to take. I continued to grow as I came to Evanston, joining InsideNU as a staff writer and then becoming a Managing Editor last winter. I’ve learned the multi-faceted nature of sports writing, from running a website to maintaining a social media presence.

Here are a few of my proudest pieces, including one that was published last summer in USA Today’s Hispanic Living Magazine.

anchoring

As with sideline reporting, I first dipped my toes in anchoring my freshman winter, suiting up and going behind the desk for my first-ever live show.

Since, I’ve had the chance to learn and grow as I’ve gone behind the desk for shows and next to the monitor for segments, honing skills from my on-camera voice to behind-the-scenes production.
