Julia and I became friends while anchoring Good Morning West Tennessee together for 2 years! We both have left the broadcast world, for now, but I wanted to hear from a former fellow reporter/anchor on what it’s like to find and tell stories. In our first episode, Julia talks about her specific approach to finding, writing, editing and ultimately telling a story. One of her biggest leads… gossip! We also reminisce on those early mornings and how we kept each other awake and laughing every morning from 5-7 while bringing the news to West Tennessee!
