234. Angilee Shah, CEO & Editor-in-Chief of Charlottesville Tomorrow
Manage episode 495790399 series 3291473
On this episode we're joined by Angilee Shah. Angilee is the CEO and editor-in-chief of Charlottesville Tomorrow, a non-profit newsroom in Charlottesville, Virginia.
A couple of years ago we interviewed someone from that newsroom, Erin O'Hare, in an interview that I've cited in every presentation I've done to students since. So I thought it would be good to talk to someone else from this organization.
Angilee is a thought leader in the industry (definitely worth a follow on LinkedIn) who has 20 years of journalism experience. She's a grad of Cal-Berkeley, class of 2004.
In our discussion, she talked about her introduction to journalism,, what it was like to work for The World, covering international news, and why she transitioned to local news. She explained how her organization covers the area and connects with the local community. And she offered advice for aspiring journalists ("embrace the struggle").
