Embark on an expedition with Mike Cerre, a Notre Dame alum, and former Marine and his adventures on his path to journalism. Witness the paradox of a man who felt a duty to serve his country while wrestling with his own anti-war stance, a man whose roots in the Midwestern ethos and exposure to global cultures have forged his unique narrative voice.
As Mike recounts his transition from the Marines to his career as a journalist, he brings us into his world of tenacity and ingenuity. From capturing footage on a mountain's peak to embracing the pulse of 1970s San Francisco, his journey is a powerful testament to following one's passions against all odds.
Join us as we navigate the collaborative trenches of television news reporting with Mike, who shares stories ranging from high-stakes drug raids to enriching interactions with iconic journalists like Ted Koppel. We also unpack cultural misconceptions, highlighting the transformative power of journalism to foster understanding and challenge our preconceptions. As Mike reflects on his storied career and peers into journalism’s future, his insights are a beacon for aspiring storytellers navigating the evolving media landscape. This episode isn’t just about where journalism has been; it's about where it's going, and how each of us can contribute to its journey.
