Jake Jacobson is a Writer and Entertainer.
I’m a writer, streamer, podcaster and producer based in Chicago, Illinois. I grew up in Bloomington, Indiana, where I started my career in radio the News and Public Affairs Department at WFHB. After two years of volunteer work, I was hired as the Assistant News Director, where I focused on covering local government. Currently, I’m Senior Writer and Editor at Sports Gamers Online, where I cover sports gaming news.
As a reporter, I’ve covered local and state government, education, food and beverage interests, COVID-19 and contact tracing. As a games writer, I’ve written news posts, game reviews, features, and covered events (most recently, E3 2021). I’ve hosted podcasts about gaming news and shows where I highlighted and interviewed members of local gaming communities.
You can find examples of my work below, including links to my podcasts and my stream on twitch. You can find a full selection of my work here.
