Join me for this conversation with Allison as we discuss everything from traveling all over the world, to hunting all over, noodling huge catfish, turtle soup and her book Chasing Deer! We both have a heart for getting the next generation open to enjoying the outdoors and understanding hunting and angling. Our kids should never be forced into hunting but there is a level of respect for it that all should be taught. Listen in as we discuss a bit about hunting differences in the eastern, midwest and western United States. The differences in those hunts and the similarities! Thank you Allison for this fun episode! I cannot wait to do it again! Check out her book for kids Chasing Deer and the group she is a part of American Daughters of Conservation.

There are too few African Americans in the country’s newsrooms and especially in news management positions. In 2020 racism still exists in America’s media companies from the smallest to the largest. Sometimes it is evident in hiring practices, promotions, or just in daily professional life. Traversing this media landscape is often difficult for Black journalists, says Allison Hunter, journalist, educator, activist and mother of two college age sons. Hunter has fought the racial battles within news organizations for the bulk of her career and she shares how she has survived professionally. She has over 20 years of experience in commercial television as an executive producer, assistant news director, and interim news director. She has worked from Cleveland, Dayton, and Cincinnati to Chicago and Los Angeles. Hunter is currently the Editor in Chief of WOUB News as part of WOUB Public Media at Ohio University. In this edition of WOUB’s Spectrum podcast, Hunter shares some of her survival tips and talks about the advice that she gives young students about to embark on a journalism career in an industry replete with racism. She talks about how they need to have a great grasp of who they are as people and to be true to themselves – especially when they are slighted or perhaps targeted based on race. They need to always be thinking about and analyzing their positions and how they can advance professionally without compromising themselves, Hunter adds. She also talks about how she has had to compartmentalize her life being a journalist, an educator and a mother of two black young men. She also has to compartmentalize her personal passions for change and activism for movements for equal rights. Juggling these various aspects of life can be difficult, Hunter says. She advises her young journalism students who feel overwhelmed to sometimes just take a break…unplug and do whatever works to clear your head. Otherwise, things can become muddled and more problematic.

“Fake News” is a term that does not have one definite meaning. Its definition is fluid depending on who is using it to describe news coverage, says an assembled team of experts. Spectrum brought together a veteran journalist, a scholar in the fields of communication and education, and a media executive with 30 years of experience in public broadcasting to dissect the topic of “Fake News” and what it means. Allison Hunter is currently the Editor-In-Chief of WOUB News. Over her career she has had experience in both commercial and public broadcasting. She has produced award-winning news programming in the major markets of Boston, Chicago and Los Angeles as well as the smaller markets of Dayton and Cincinnati, Ohio. Hunter also currently co-hosts a news related podcast #457SEO. Dr. Scott Titsworth has been the Dean of the Scripps College of Communication at Ohio University since 2009. The Scripps College consists of the E. W. Scripps School of Journalism, the School of Media Arts and Studies, the School of Visual Communication, the School of Communication Studies and the J. Warren McClure School of Information and Telecommunication Systems. Dr. Titsworth has an international reputation as a top scholar in the area of classroom communication effectiveness. He also hosts a nationally distributed podcast called “Teaching Matters” where he examines the unique needs of students in the 21st Century and the “Technological Age.” Mark Brewer is the General Manager of WOUB Public Media. He is an experienced media executive with over 30 years in public broadcasting in Ohio, Minnesota, and Texas. He currently manages six public radio stations, six public television stations, social media, and an online news service. All agree that the term “Fake News” is used by those who want to denigrate the news product either by claiming that the “event” never happened or that news reports have the facts wrong – thereby leading to a mistaken public impression. If the term only was used to describe mainstream media, the panel, concurs that it would be easier to counteract the idea of falsity with greater media transparency and openness. However, the problem of “Fake News” is exacerbated by social media and the myriad of bots, trolls, fake news sites dedicated to distributing false reports. In short, legitimate news is diluted and polluted by truly fake news that is generated by those who wish to advance a position or destroy someone else’s position. “Fake News” needs to be counteracted by accurate reporting and complete transparency on how a story is resourced and produced. Openness counteracts the assertion of falsity, the panel says.
