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.
