In this episode of Human Amplified, we welcome Pat Embry, a longtime Nashville journalist who has held roles as an editor at the Nashville Banner and The Tennessean, director of the John Siegenthaler Chair of Excellence in First Amendment Studies at MTSU, and communications director for the Community Foundation of Middle Tennessee.
With nearly 50 years in journalism, Pat has witnessed the industry evolve from print to digital, seen media ownership impact editorial stances, and observed the growing difficulty in distinguishing truth from propaganda.
Pat reflects on his career and emphasizes the significance of responsible reporting and critical thinking in navigating today’s polarized media. Our conversation underscores the vital importance of a free press in shaping informed citizens and a resilient democracy.
