Background

About Ben Parris

I am a dedicated and ambitious student at the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication, currently entering my third and final year at Arizona State University. My passion for sports journalism has driven me to gain extensive experience in television sports reporting and anchoring, live play-by-play commentary, digital and social media management, videography, photography, and graphic design. Throughout my academic career, I have had the opportunity to contribute to professional and student publications, including the United States Golf Association (USGA), Pac-12 Network Livestreams, Walter Cronkite Sports Network, and Blaze Radio. These experiences have honed my skills and provided me with a robust portfolio of work that demonstrates my versatility and expertise in sports media. A testament to my dedication and talent is being a four-time Student Production Award winner from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences. In 2024, I was honored with the Ron Balicki Scholarship, an annual award given to a student pursuing a career in golf media/communications. These recognitions underscore my commitment to excellence and my ability to deliver high-quality work in a competitive field. My ultimate goal is to secure a position as an on-air talent on either a television or digital platform where I can continue to share my passion for sports with a broader audience. I thrive in team environments, bring a high level of ambition to my work, and am deeply committed to achieving my professional objectives.
