"Donatas":

Donatas is a well-known journalist and Senior Staff Writer at BasketNews.com and has been around the game of basketball for a long time. He has been reporting on Lithuanian media outlets since 2011 and has experience of reporting from FIBA European Championships in 2011, 2015, 2017 as well as World Cup in 2014 and Rio Olympics in 2016. He also won Lithuanian Sports Journalist of the year in 2016. Donatas also was one of the first people to start a sports podcast in Lithania, "UrBonus" while he was still working for 15min.lt 

Today we talked about several topics when it comes to his line of work. We had a pleasant exchange about 'click-bait' articles and how to avoid them but keep the article spicy enough to draw interest but staying ethical at the same time. We talked about the interpretation aspect across languages as well as earning the trust of coaches, sports directors and other personnel in this business. Lots more topics that you can find below.
