The Origins of It's All Journalism
The podcast's inception in August 2012 is revisited, highlighting the important roles played by its founders, including Megan Clorty and Jolie Lee. Initially aimed at revitalizing personal and professional passion in journalism, it emerged as a platform to discuss industry transitions, particularly in the digital age. Clorty sought a reset in her career from local TV in Kansas City, gravitating towards a program at American University that promised diverse skills like coding and photography. This program not only reshaped her career but also fostered connections that led to the creation of the podcast.
