Sport is my passion for generating the most electrifying, raw and honest content because these tales unfold before your eyes. Most notably, this is on the field, but just as importantly there are the blood, sweat and tears in the build-up that as a journalist, I am often privileged to study.I am always on the look-out to try new methods and mediums to tell stories through social media, new visual technologies and pushing myself to constantly improve my first love, the printed product.Away from my work field, I train and run half-marathons.You can follow me on twitter: @Melanie_WhelanLike me on Facebook: Melanie Whelan - journalistPut me in your Google+ circleRead my weekly column, 'From the Press Box with Melanie Whelan' at thecourier.com.au/sport/press-boxOr, check out some of my work on thecourier.com.au
