As the media landscape changes and we deal with new ways to get news and information, broadcast television still plays an important role. The national 24-hour cable networks aren't equipped to report on issues that are specific to Northern Nevada, and even as more news moves online, local news shows play an indispensable part.
Not all that news needs to be heavy or serious or focused on things like crime and disasters. There's also room for lifestyle content that highlights nonprofits and events and change makers in the community. That's where Katey Roshetko and her morning show "Morning Break" on KOLO channel 8 come in. Morning Break airs 5 days a week at 9:00 am and features a wide variety of local guests.
On this episode of Renoites, Conor and Katey talked about her journey into local broadcasting from early dreams of being a Disney star, overcoming anxiety in a highly visible profession, the difference between video and audio formats for news and talk, strategies for making interview guests feel at ease, how local news stations can remain relevant in the digital media era, the effects of large corporation ownership of local television stations, and much more!
You can watch Morning Break on KOLO Channel 8 weekday mornings at 9am and follow the show on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/kolo8morningbreak
