Welcome to Notes from the Newsroom! In this podcast series, we explore the ever-changing state of the journalism industry, dive into who the people on the ground are, and offer a space for journalists to connect through stories.

In this episode, Garrett Mogel sits down with Corey Hutchins to discuss what the industry looks like for aspiring journalists preparing to enter the fray. After graduation, many are left wondering how to turn their skills into work or become discouraged by the bleak landscape painted by veteran reporters, public perceptions, and interdisciplinary dissent. We discuss how aspiring journalists should prepare themselves to enter the industry, what the industry looks like in Colorado, and where it is headed. Enjoy our pilot episode, and we hope you take something from our discussion.
