Six Degrees - April 2008

One Degree Closer to Jill Martin, Journalist

“Telling a story is telling a story and you just have to remember who your audience is. I think that sports encompasses every aspect of life; that’s why I love being in it so much.” Jill Martin made up her mind early on that TV was where it was at and interned at a different TV show every summer during her college years. Martin had a front row seat when the Miami Heat took the title in 2006 and covered the gang for 24 stright hours, chronicling the celebration. Martin traveled up the eastern seaboard and now covers Knicks games, does celebrity halftime interviews and is a TV contributor for US Weekly and appears on Today.
