Tim Gerth

Freelance Journalist sport, automotive, tech and gaming

About Tim

I have always been interested in journalism and media. Every opportunity I am offered to enter a project and help tell its story I grasp with both hands. While never having studied journalism, I believe the best way to enter this particular field of work is by pursuing your passion.

From both sides, being press as well as informing the press I have extensive experience. Whether it is reporting, writing, interviewing or advice on any of these, I am always glad to help out wherever I can.

Recently I have developed myself in motorsports and especially in motocross. In 2020 I will cover most of the European MXGP-races on-site for several media. So, if you are interested, whether you are a website, magazine, newspaper or maybe an athlete or a team, I am available to create content. Call me or write me if you have any questions!

Specialization

Motocross

Possibly the most demanding sport in the world. A mixture of power, technique and mental strength. I have been following motocross since I can remember, which took a flight after I gave Motorsport.com the idea to do this more extensively in 2017. In 2020 I will attend all Dutch Masters and most European GP’s.

Racing

Racing has always been one of my biggest interests. Like mentioned earlier, I have now specialized in motocross, which does not mean I have given up on following the world of motor racing. I have worked and still work for several media on series like Formula 1, MotoGP and Formula E.

Hockey

American sports have always been an interest of me. Especially when I first saw a baseball game between New York Yankees and Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park, this was accelerated even more. Thanks to my work for Face-Off.nl I was offered the opportunity to attend NHL-games as a media representative.

Qualities

WRITING

From analyses, article to branded content. As a journalist and copy-writer I have grown more and more experienced in several areas. Are you in the market for a writer who can provide you with press releases and more? Be sure to contact me!

Previous work of mine in this field at Motorsport.com and Brabants Dagblad.

INTERVIEWING

From well-known celebrities to amateur sports, in each field I have shown to find the best stories. Even as a part of larger productions.

MEDIA

Reporting in media has changed in the last couple of years and so have I. In addition to writing I use video, photography and podcasts to tell stories. 

Previously I produced video content for Motorsport.com and hosted a hockey podcast for Face-Off.nl.

Previous assignments

Motorsport.com

Since 2016 I work for the biggest online motorsport-platform in the world: Motorsport.com. In a global network of journalists I have worked to create content on a.o. Formula 1, IndyCar, MXGP, Formula E and motorsport-related videogames.

Eindhovens Dagblad

As freelancer I have done numerous articles for local newspaper Eindhovens Dagblad. Primarily on the local ice hockey team, local motocross talents and the motocross World Championship. 

Brabants Dagblad

For Brabants Dagblad I have been reporting on the Dutch riders in the MXGP World Motocross Championship as well as Heroes Basketball from Den Bosch.

Sportnieuws.nl

At Sportnieuws.nl I was one of the key writers on Formula 1 and American sports between may 2018 and March 2019. I also enjoyed creating content on football and especially analysing the performance of Ajax in its first season with Erik ten Hag as head coach. In addition to this, I incidentally created video content.

TU/e Cursor

I have written numerous articles for the Eindhoven University of Technology newspaper Cursor, varying from student teams to party settings. I also created several video’s for Cursor.

Telegraaf | Autovisie

Between 2013 and 2015 I wrote several articles for Autovisie, the automotive related branch of Dutch newspaper De Telegraaf. Most of the content was related to the development of electric cars.

TU Eindhoven

STORM Eindhoven

As one of the initiators of STORM Eindhoven I was responsible for most communication to the media and cooperating with key brands as Rev’it, AME, DARE!!!, Harley Davidson and Zero Motorcycles.

DTC Magazine

In 2015 I made several voluntary contributions to the Donkervoort Touring Club dedicated magazine. Having grown up with a father who, at several points of my life, owned a Donkervoort, I have grown a passion for the brand.
