Founder and Editor In Chief of AMG Sports Media Amber Marie Green joined Val Warner and Ryan Chiaverini on ABC7 Chicago’s Windy City Weekend to talk about women in sports, Chicago stories going viral, and what it takes to build community through coverage that treats girls and women’s athletics with equal seriousness. The segment framed her journey as a journalist and builder while highlighting the show’s host chat focus on local creators who are breaking through on social media.
Green’s feature arrives after more than a decade of photojournalism and editorial work across Chicago. Her background includes leadership and bylines at the historic Chicago Defender, where she served in executive and creative roles and contributed reported pieces. “Chicago taught me to tell the whole story, not just the highlight,” she has often said about her practice of pairing visuals with reporting. Her portfolio also includes national attention from Good Morning America for protest coverage in 2020, underscoring a long record of documenting pivotal civic moments before expanding into sports focused storytelling.
AMG Sports Media’s digital reach has grown into a sizable audience, with posts from Green noting more than three hundred thousand followers across platforms for the AMG Sports Media and Amber Marie Green brands. On air she discussed how that scale helps elevate under covered athletes and teams, especially girls and women at the high school and college levels. “Visibility changes outcomes. When communities can see themselves, support follows,” she said in a message consistent with her recent social updates.
Green’s broader résumé connects culture, news, and sports. Her personal site outlines a multidisciplinary career in photography, directing, and editorial strategy, while the ABC7 feature centered her current mission to build a platform that treats women’s sports as core coverage rather than a side beat. “The goal is consistent, quality storytelling that travels from neighborhood gyms to national timelines,” she emphasized. The Windy City Weekend appearance placed that mission in front of a metro wide audience on a holiday broadcast, tying Chicago’s local creators and viral moments back to the city’s sports heartbeat.
