The Sporting  Landscape

Hi. I'm Mitch Bourke, I'm 19, and I created The Sporting Landscape back in 2020. 

​

For as long as I can remember, I've loved sport. I don't know what it is, but I'm drawn to it. The connection, the drama, the stories. All of it. And once it dawned on me I wasn't going to make it as a professional cricketer, I figured working in sports media would be the next best thing.

So I started The Sporting Landscape, and for the last few years it's been an outlet for me to write whatever sports content I desire, and I've loved every minute of it. 

​

I've been fortunate enough to have the opportunity to write feature interviews and cover local footy and cricket, including the DDCA Turf 1 grand final, for the Herald Sun's Leader Local Sport division. I've also worked for rugby league site Nothing but League covering NRL games, and been published on other sites including The Roar. I'm also excited to be taking up a role with Casey Radio working on their VFL, VFLW, and AFLW coverage this year. 

​

Now I operate as a freelance sports journalist, and of course I'm trying to grow The Sporting Landscape brand. I've got some big ideas, including a few podcasts which will be coming soon. If you want to come along for the ride, you can follow The Sporting Landscape on Facebook and Instagram, and subscribe to our newsletter.
