About

Kristian Winfield is a sophomore broadcast journalism major and sports management minor at the Scripps Howard School of Journalism and Communications at Hampton University -- an HBCU located in Hampton, Va. He has worked with Bleacher Report as both a sports writing intern in the Summer of 2011 and a Featured Columnist shortly afterwards.

At Hampton University, Kristian is both the Copy Desk Chief and a Sports Staff Writer for the weekly publication, The Hampton Script. He is also the Sports Producer for WHOV News and the Sports Director for the Radio Show with WHOV 88.1 FM.

Kristian will be interning in the Summer of 2013 with the sports section of the Richmond Times-Dispatch under editor Steve Trosky. He is pursuing the path of a beat writer for an NBA or NFL team, before making his way into reporting. Kristian also has dreams of working in the front office, possibly a managerial position, for an NBA or NFL team.

    Kristian, thanks for the edit on my College Football piece today.

    I have a quick question: on my B/R sportswriter profile, the article is showing without a picture. I feel as if my Introduction slide is being treated as a regular slide because the format of the intro looks different as well.

    If you have any insight or an answer, that'd be great.

    Hey, would you be able to send your e mail to klangan@omnipossible.com? I want to get the B/R community leaders on a mailing list for a press release on behalf of Sports Media 101.

    Thanks

    I dig this Cameron Ward guy: http://bleacherreport.com/users/634084-cameron-ward

    I wanted Aaron Dodge -- one of the bros from our Internship class -- but looks like he's been on hiatus since July 24. Yikes.

    Who else you got in mind?

    Yes sir, it's my website. Y'know, if you're into blogging (or want to get into blogging) and like using some profanity while also making lame NFL jokes, let me know, man. I'd totally love to have you write with us. Plus, we're going to resume the weekly NFL podcast, so we'd get you on whenever possible.
