OMN Alumni Podcast

We're back for season 3 with a great episode for aspiring journalists. Pacific NW Magazine Editor Bill Reader talks with me about how it takes bravery to be a reporter. You've got to face your fear to ask the coach questions postgame, or develop a relationship with a source, or to be critical of people you cover. His experience covering sports for the Daily Barometer, Gazette-Times, Seattle Times, and now running Pacific NW Magazine has taught him valuable lessons about being a good journalist. It's a must-listen for young reporters.
