Thursday’s Mass Media x SPJ New England speaker series will feature Chad Finn, a sports and sports media columnist with The Boston Globe.
The originally planned speaker, retired Boston Globe sportswriter Bob Ryan, is unable to attend due to an unexpected scheduling conflict.
Finn joined the Globe as a sports copy editor and page designer in 2003, after a stint at the Concord Monitor, and then took over the sports media beat in 2009. He has won multiple awards from the Associated Press Sports Editors, including for a multimedia project in 2018 on LeBron James’s time in the NBA summer league in Boston.
He has also worked on projects including an oral history of Larry Bird’s 60-point game and a profile of former Red Sox pitcher and broadcaster Dennis Eckersley for the Globe Magazine. His stories have been selected for the notables section of “The Year’s Best Sports Writing” anthologies in 2022 and 2023.
