What is Behind the Scenes with Lynn Jones?

I'm Lynn Jones, and I need your support to open the floodgates for youth in pursuit of fresh career paths in sports journalism.

Purpose Statement

ProTALKS Florida exists to give young people hands-on access to the real world of sports journalism. We connect high school and college-aged students with working professionals, live events, and practical training so they can see, touch, and try this career for themselves. Our purpose is to turn raw curiosity about sports and media into clear skills, confident voices, and tangible opportunities that students can carry into college programs, internships, and entry-level roles.

This podcast was designed to help elevate our voices in special, transformative spaces where we are needed most.
