Danika Mason

Danika Mason started at Channel Nine as an intern in the Newsroom. After six months of weekend interning Danika was given her first job as an Olympic logger in 2012. It wasn't long before she was offered a full-time role in sport where she started out producing before moving into reporting.

Danika has worked across both News and the Wide World of Sports reporting and presenting. She is an experience sideline reporter covering the NRL and hosts NSW Cup and is also a regular roaming reporter on Nine's coverage of the Australian Open tennis.

Growing up in Sydney's North West Danika loved sport from a very young age. She played Netball, Basketball, Touch Football and Soccer just to name a few. After graduating from Oakhill College, Danika studied Engineering at University although that only lasted 3 weeks before she decided it wasn't for her. That's when she followed her passion and moved to Wollongong to study Journalism and Marketing.

As Today's new sports presenter, Danika reflected on the "full circle moment", having previously been a sports producer for the show over a decade ago.

"I'm actually so thankful, it's so wonderful to be a part of the family," Danika said when she was announced as joining the team.

"It's so exciting that you're all welcoming me into your home each morning."
