Jordan Alloway ’17–Emmy Award-Winning Content Associate at ESPN and Beaver alum–spoke to the Socio-Economics of Sports class this week about his experiences in the sports media industry.

Jordan is an Emmy Award-winning Content Associate at ESPN with over five years of professional media experience, including roles as a Production Assistant and intern at NFL Films. His journey into sports media stems from a passion for athletics and storytelling, which he seamlessly integrates into his work. Jordan has hands-on experience with cinematic production in both professional and collegiate environments, using DSLR and high-end camera equipment to create compelling narratives through game coverage and team videos. His role involves filming and editing game highlights, conducting player interviews, and producing team hype videos.

In college, talk to people, network—you never know who you are going to school with or the power of the alumni network. That’s how I got my first internship at the NFL.
