Who am I?

Hello reader! My name is Caleb Otte. I am a college student at Chapman University and I am studying communication and journalism. I have been working as the sports editor this past year for my school’s paper The Panther and am now the managing editor. I have also done sports, business, arts and local high school reporting for my old paper in Beckley, West Virginia called The Register-Herald. While my career in getting paid to write articles has only just begun to blossom, I’ve always loved sports and have been writing articles and opinion pieces about a plethora of them for 8+ years now. Initially I wrote for myself, and then for a now defunct online sports blogging site called Discuss The Game. Ultimately, I’m just a college kid who loves to write in general. I want a space to share that with the world, and to delve more freely into topics that I want to cover.

What will I be writing about?

I want a non-professional outlet for my writing, something where I’m not as tied down to journalistic style or standards. I love being a journalist and a journalism student, however sometimes I just want to rant and ramble so this space is for that. However, I will also pursue journalistic projects. It just depends on how I’m feeling. I will write certainly cover sports topics, but I intend to also write music/movie/food reviews, about politics/history and essentially anything else I want to. I would expect a large portion of it to be about sports, though, and a good chunk to be still in a sort of journalistic style.
