In this episode, the focus is on the world of local news coverage. Regardless of where you live, finding news about your community isn’t always easy. But there are those who defy the odds, offering an alternative perspective. Our podcast profiles one such individual, Jan Murphy.
Jan, a seasoned writer with over 25 years of experience, has dedicated his career to reporting and writing features for the local paper. He firmly believes in the power of local stories that resonate with the community—narratives told with honesty and emotion. When he’s not crafting these tales, Jan indulges in his other passion: wrestling. As one of the few journalists focused on the sport, he’s taken it a step further by owning a stake in Chinlock Wrestling, a business that promotes these popular entertainment events.
This conversation was recorded in mid-June 2024.
