"Don't do it unless there is nothing else you could possible spend your life doing... because journalism is a calling and a commitment."
-June Cross
Welcome to Sword and Pen, a podcast about journalism, military veterans, and military veterans in journalism. In this episode we welcome June Cross, a professor of journalism at Columbia University. Cross won 2 EMMY Awards, first in 1983 for her coverage of the U.S. Invasion of Grenada and again in 1997 for her documentary, "Secret Daughter." Over her career she has worked for Frontline, CBS News and the Boston Globe.
Sword and Pen is a production of Military Veteran in Journalism, a professional association that builds community for vets, supports their career growth, and advocates for diversifying newsrooms through hiring and promoting more vets.
