Broadcast journalism is more than just reporting the news. It’s storytelling in motion, bringing the news to life in an immediate and immersive way. Through powerful narratives, journalists connect audiences to real stories, real people, and real moments, delivering truth with impact, clarity, and urgency.

In this episode, we welcomed Nerissa Lamison, an evening news anchor for ABC7 News in Tampa, Florida, and a member of the faculty at Hillsborough Community College’s Radio, Television, and Broadcast program, also in Tampa. We chatted about the realities of busy newsrooms, how fact-checking has ALWAYS been critical in journalism (not just in this era), and all the ways she is guiding the next generation of young reporters to be storytellers.
