ESPN's Kosner Tops Most Influential List For Digital Sports Media

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).
