ESPN Visits Ole Miss

ESPN sports journalist, Jemele Hill, made a quick trip to
Ole Miss to speak about her profession to students on
Tuesday. Hill gave students the inside scoop on how to land
the ESPN dream job, have the best interview and to follow
your dreams.

"Don't let anyone tell you that journalism is a 'dead
profession', those millions of tweets and blogs you see in a
day are all apart of journalism. Whenever you are giving
people information, you are a journalist in action," Hill said.
Hill advised students to start with the "basics". Do journalism related activities in your hometown or at your University to get yourself out there and familiar with the business.

Students were allowed to speak to Hill one-on-one after the presentation for a better look into the life of ESPN sports journalist, Jemele Hill.
