In this episode of Oh, hi! Stories Podcast, I sit down with my longtime friend and former colleague, Contessa Brewer, to talk about the evolving world of journalism, storytelling, and navigating a rapidly changing media landscape. From our days at MSNBC to the current state of news and social media, we discuss how trust in journalism has shifted, the challenges of keeping audiences engaged, and the importance of real, impactful storytelling. Contessa shares her insights on what it takes to stay relevant, the role of social media in shaping narratives, and her recent experience working with local governments on crisis communications. We also explore how journalists and communicators can adapt to a world where attention is fleeting, and truth is often questioned.
Thank you for listening! If you liked this episode, please give us a 5-star rating.
