K. Pradeep
Short Brief
I'm a journalist with say nearly 30 years of experience. I worked as a sports reporter/editor with The Indian Express and later with the Features in The Hindu. I retired on 2018 as Senior Deputy Editor. In between all this I taught in a couple of city colleges for nearly 10 years, immediately after my post-graduation.
My schooling was divided between St. Joseph's College, Wellington, Nilgiris, and Kendriya Vidyalaya, Ernakulam. And my college between St. Albert's College, Ernakulam (Bachelor's} and Sacred Heart College, Thevara (Masters in English).
Within a week of clearing my Masters I began teaching, first in a reputed parallel college (those days there were many of them) and then at The Cochin College and for a year in Sacred Heart College. After retirement I'm actively involved in teaching Journalism, as Guest Faculty, is some of the media schools of the State.
Sports has always been an integral part of my life. I played cricket, hockey and table tennis at the university level and also represented Kerala in cricket. My association with cricket extended beyond my playing days as I was State selector and office bearer of the State and District association for many years.
A career in sports journalism helped extend my passion with sports. In The Indian Express I covered State, National and International events inside the country and abroad. It was mostly cricket, a bit of football and table tennis. Since the work entailed editing, designing of sports pages, I was able to pick up this important art, which is so integral to good journalism.
As a radio and television commentator, for All India Radio and Doordarshan, I have had the opportunity to report on some very prestigious sporting events like one-day international cricket matches, FIFA under-17 football World Cup matches, national level table tennis, ball badminton, cricket etc. My association with AIR and other television channels extends to discussions and interviews on sports-related topics.
In The Indian Express, along with sports I wrote on arts, culture, music, dance, wildlife, travel, lifestyle etc. This landed me a job in the Features section of The Hindu where I served for 16 years, heading the department before retiring in April 2018 as Senior Deputy Editor.
I still continue to write Features for The Hindu, a monthly sports column for Palikkutam, a magazine published by Rajagiri Media Trust. Along with this I teach post-graduate students at the SH College of Communication.
In the course of these years, I have presented papers at various workshops, lectured at media seminars and talked to students of various colleges on media, sports, culture, journalism.
I'm married, my wife is a homemaker and I have two children. I stay at Tripunithura, near Kochi. I can be contacted at puckss33@gmail.com or on phone 9388605927.
