ESPN's Kosner Tops Most Influential List For Digital Sports Media
Published October 16, 2008
SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL this week ranks the top 20 most influential execs in digital sports media, and ESPN Senior VP & GM of Digital Media JOHN KOSNER tops the list. ESPN.com "operates from a dominant position under Kosner's steady hand, and the total depth of content is without rival." Kosner is the "main man for packaging, disseminating and monetizing that material in a meaningful fashion, and he has been instrumental in spreading ESPN's online profile successfully into niche areas" (SPORTSBUSINESS JOURNAL, 10/13 issue).
