If you’ve followed the industry in recent years, it’s no secret that the broadcast journalism industry has struggled to attract young journalists to the business. This coming as the industry has lost many talent in just the past few years alone as part of the national “Great Resignation”.

But the industry should not give up all hope just yet. In this two-part series, two J-school seniors share their thoughts on the industry, where it’s headed next, and where they see themselves in it, just as they get ready to graduate and begin their journalism journeys. As you’ll learn, these two seniors are quite optimistic on the industry and its prognosis, and why news directors and recruiters should not begin to panic just yet.

In part one of the two part series, Madison Moore, a graduating senior at Ohio University’s renowned E.W. Scripps School of Journalism, shares her story in this comprehensive interview, and how she feels about the industry she’s so passionate about. Madison is originally from Charleston, West Virginia and has recently landed a job as an on-air reporter/MMJ at WRIC-TV, Nexstar’s ABC affiliate in Richmond, Virginia.

In our tenth episode, we talk with someone who spent their news career at one station, and quite literally started at the bottom and ended at the highest position an on-air personality can reach at a local station: main weeknight anchor. Madison Alewel started her career at KFDA NewsChannel 10 in Amarillo, Texas in October 2013, just months after graduating from the University of Missouri and its renowned broadcast journalism program. We'll discuss how she ended up in Amarillo of all places, how she worked her way up to the weeknight anchoring slot, some of the pressures she had to face when she was put in that position, and why she decided to step away from the news business, among other topics.
