Sports Journalists – Daniel Gotera, 36

Reporting Texas

Daniel talked about how he has mostly been reporting from home for KHOU, Houston’s CBS affiliate, since around the time the coronavirus started to spread through the U.S.. He discussed how he has transferred his man cave at his home into a makeshift sports studio. He also mentioned how he has enjoyed doing Zoom interviews one-on-one with athletes and coaches, because he hasn’t had to deal with the usual media scrum when a player and/or coach is made available to talk. Daniel discussed how he has had to balance the responsibility of being a father to two young children at home, with the job of covering Houston sports during this crazy time.

“It’s all about adjusting man. You can still tell great stories. You just have to do it in a different way.”
