The Journalism Salute
The Journalism Salute is a journalism appreciation podcast. We interview working journalists about who they are and what they do.
Our aim is to have diverse guests, thoughtful questions, and interesting conversation.
If you're an aspiring journalist, you'll learn potential careers to pursue and tips to put to use.
If you're an experienced journalist, you'll learn about like-minded members of your profession with notable stories to tell.
And if you're not a journalist, we hope you'll garner or further an appreciation for journalists and realize that they are NOT the enemy.
