Even if she doesn’t know what it means, Laura Leslie is pioneering the future of journalism in North Carolina .
The long-time Raleigh reporter for WUNC Radio is now the “multimedia statehouse reporter” for WRAL-TV.
Here’s how Laura defined her new job:
“I’ll be on TV a little, but most of my work will be online. Blogging, web stories, web- and podcasting, interactives, social media – we don’t quite know what it’ll look like yet. We’re making it up as we go along. Which is a little scary, but even more exciting.”
This is a combination of a great reporter/blogger and maybe the best TV-news station in the country.
At a time when journalism is under unbelievable financial pressures – and when we need good journalism more than ever – this is good news.
