Shari Rudavsky - How To Read the News

Hello and welcome to Upgrade Thought! On this episode, I will be talking to Shari Rudavsky. Shari is a journalist at the Indiana Star, a Newspaper in Indiana. She previously wrote about healthcare, and recently stepped into a new role as the editor for the education and entertainment sections of the same paper. In this conversation, we discuss how the everyday person should go about consuming news in the most effective way possible, what the transition from print to digital journalism means for the media industry, how Shari builds rapport with interviewees, how breaking stories often start out as a series of tweets, how Shari deals with writer’s block, how readers' media consumption patterns affect the content that gets publicized, and more. Enjoy the show.
