Interested in sports journalism?  Emile Nuh, Freelance Sports Journalist was a huge inspiration to teenagers at Bankfest 2025 in Weymouth, Dorset

He spoke to Podium producer Camilla Byk after the event about his career

‘We take inspiration from all these well-renowned superstars but sometimes they take inspiration from seeing us as well.’

'My main advice is just do it
I said to someone at the Athletic that I’d love to be a writer and he said ‘what are you writing ? Where’s your blog?’

‘Believe you are a sports journalist, you can never start too early.’

‘You never know if it’s a good idea until you try it it might just need adapting’

‘Thinking less and doing more and just doing it is a massive piece of advice, don’t rule out anything’

‘That one person who sees your work might be someone who knows someone who can get you one opportunity and that opportunity might turn into 2’

'My unique characteristic is my heritage and where I’m from'

'I love that being in this industry I’ve been allowed to actually open up and really show that side'

'I’ve got the confidence to really shout to the rooftops about my heritage and about my background and about my story. And that’s what I love about journalism, it empowers me to tell the story but I also feel that it empowers those who are telling the story on'
