The Sports Bank.net is a Midwest focused webzine featuring commentaries on the most stimulating topics and interviews with some of the biggest names in sports. It covers the sports markets in Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota exclusively; and continues expansion into other regional markets. It was founded in 2007 in Chicago by Paul M. Banks. In 2006, Banks was one of a group of twenty young American journalists selected to participate in a Fulbright fellowship in Berlin. In April ‘07, he attended the Sports Journalism Summit II hosted by the Poynter Institute in St. Petersburg, Florida.
His work has been featured in numerous media outlets including FOX, CBS, Chicago Sun-Times, Chicago Tribune and 670 The Score. Banks has also appeared as a guest commentator on Comcast Sports Net, Chicago Tribune RedEye, ESPN Radio, and Sporting News Radio. While a football beat reporter and sports columnist for the student daily at the University of Illinois, his work was regularly featured on ESPN.com. He also has an MBA from Loyola University Chicago.
Currently, Banks serves as a sports writer for NBC 5 Chicago’s website and the Washington Times. He also free-lances regularly for a number of publications. In August of 2008 he was also selected as the city’s sports scene writer for the Chicago 2016 Olympic Channel.
