On this episode of Sword and Pen, guest Kyle Rempfer takes us on his amazing journey from being an Air Force combat controller to his current position as editor of the Army Times, a branch of the independent Military Times.
Listen in as Kyle chats about the myth of needing a journalism degree to break into journalism; the importance of seeking paid or unpaid internships at news organizations; the need to have tough skin when being told no by opaque military and DoD officials; and the art of filing Freedom of Information requests.
This show will be an inspiration to our MVJ members transitioning from the military into journalism, especially if you don't have a journalism degree hanging on your wall yet.
