Miscellaneous
One of the undercurrents of this podcast has been that the relationship between the press and the public has gotten so fractured that it's almost as if we need to get reporters and audiences into a classroom to study the problem and find a new consensus on how journalism even works. Well, guess what? St. Louis Public Radio is doing just that with its new "Mini J School." People have paid STLPR good money to "explore the craft of journalism" -- not just for an evening but in an extensive six-week course. These two-hour sessions feature not only public-radio journalists but media professional from newsrooms (print, digital, TV, etc.) across the St. Louis metro. Mini J School seemed to speak to the core sensibility -- if not nagging dread -- that convinced me to launch this podcast. So I had to reach out to Maria Altman (@radioaltman), STLPR's newscast editor, to learn all about it.
