Lake Show Life recently conducted a Q&A with Los Angeles Daily News sportswriter Mark Medina, who has covered the Los Angeles Lakers for the newspaper for almost five years.
Q. What made you choose this career path, and was becoming a Los Angeles Lakers beat writer always the goal?
A. It would be presumptuous to consider being a Lakers beat writer as a goal. That’s a pretty competitive position in a field that has faced challenges with downsizing. But I grew up a sports fan and loved to read and write, so this became a natural fit.
