The Power of Independent Journalism with Isaac Saul
Manage episode 352966267 series 2911329
I recently attended a symposium on democracy and journalism that featured a former White House Correspondent for CNN named Jessica Yellen, and a young man named Isaac Saul of Tangle News.
To be brief, this panel discussion was about the future of independent journalism and its importance in a representative democracy. And after it was all said and done, I approached Isaac and asked him to join me on the T30 podcast.
As you will hear during the show, Isaac is not only an accomplished journalist, he is also (much to his own surprise) a rising star and entrepreneur in the realm of independent journalism.
Isaac began his career at the University of Pittsburgh as a sports reporter for his college newspaper. His first professional role as a journalist was at The Huffington Post in 2013, before being asked to work with Ashton Kutcher and his media startup, A Plus, a positive news outlet where Isaac served as a reporter and editor for over 6 years before starting Tangle in 2021.
I hope you enjoy this young man as much as I did. He is a powerful example of what journalism can be…and what it should be.
