What is it really like being a journalist covering esports? What are the challenges that you might not be aware of? And how can you get into it?
In a special video discussion panel, esports journalists Ollie Ring (Esports Insider/freelance), Mike Stubbs (freelance), Michael Moriarty (UKCSGO/Esports Insider/Reason Gaming) and Dom Sacco (Esports News UK/British Esports) discuss what life is really like as a journo, the ups and downs and everything in-between.
Dom is an award-winning writer and finalist of the Esports Journalist of the Year 2023 award. He has almost two decades of experience in journalism, and left Esports News UK in June 2025.
As a long-time gamer having first picked up the NES controller in the late ’80s, he has written for a range of publications including GamesTM, Nintendo Official Magazine, industry publication MCV and others. He also previously worked as head of content for the British Esports Federation.
