ESPN’s longest tenured reporter Mark Schwarz joined the network in July 1990. In nearly 30 years of journalistic excellence, Schwarz seen it all.
After recently signing a new, multi-year contract, Schwarz took time to reflect on three decades of covering the biggest names and stories in sports while also sharing his excitement for what’s to come.
MEMORABLE MOMENTS:
There have been quite a few, but these stand out to Schwarz.
TOUGH QUESTIONS
Schwarz takes his job of serving the fan at home seriously and sometimes that means asking tough questions that not everyone is going to like.
MULTI-YEAR CONTRACT EXTENSION
There’s a reason Schwarz has stuck around for 29 years and plans to be with ESPN for years to come. Hint: Storytelling drives him.

Fascinating top-of-article declaration by Bryce Harper. Explains a lot, and also underscores how the sports media landscape has grown into forever banging the speculative drum. https://t.co/L5vvRwW3yk pic.twitter.com/yTomsUN79t

This is such a thoughtful piece, by @SorayaMcDonald.
Part of me hopes the mystery of Naomi Osaka is never quite solved. Let her be.https://t.co/1QCsLBHTwj

Had no idea about the journey of @mickconlan11. @MarkKriegel tells his story and explains why you don't have to be Irish to root for Conlan.
There are (many) other reasons: https://t.co/ylpmaKMiOD pic.twitter.com/uIjcBPgBwW
