Newsroom Leaders Explain Staffing & Coverage Decisions in 2023

7.7.23 – Gene Grant speaks with three newsroom leaders who have a hand in shaping coverage around the state. The group also discusses ownership’s influence on staffing and coverage — and how dwindling resources have left newsrooms emptier than they were even just a decade ago. Gene asks if news organizations can still properly serve their audiences with so much less.
