In this episode of The Wandering Pen Podcast, Christine Musser sits down with Dennis Owens—longtime ABC27 anchor, political reporter, and host of This Week in Pennsylvania—for a compelling conversation about the transformation of journalism over the past 30 years.
From his early days in sports broadcasting to becoming a trusted political voice at the Pennsylvania state Capitol, Dennis shares personal stories from the newsroom, reflects on the decline of local journalism, and weighs in on the public’s shifting trust in media. He also addresses the challenges of covering politics in a deeply divided time and explains why local news still matters—now more than ever.
Whether you’re curious about how newsrooms operate, how media decisions are made, or what the future of journalism looks like, this episode offers rare insight from someone who’s been behind the headlines for over three decades. #DennisOwens #LocalJournalism #MediaTrust #PoliticalReporting #StatePolitics #BroadcastNews #NewsroomStories #JournalismThenAndNow #MediaEvolution #TheWanderingPenPodcast #PodcastInterview #StorytellingMatters #SupportLocalNews #PhiladelphiaEaglesFan #PhiladelphiaPhilliesFan
