The homelessness and addiction catastrophes on our city streets seem intractable. Unhygienic squatter tent cities. Human waste on our sidewalks. Used needles littering our parks. Crime.

One is veteran independent journalist Jonathan Choe. Choe focuses his journalism on homelessness, drug addiction, and the mental health crisis ravaging America through hard-hitting video narratives.

With the end of the 2022 calendar year fast approaching, the WorkInSports Podcast is bringing back some of its most impactful sports career advice from the past 12 months to help you start your job search with confidence in 2023.The sports betting industry has exploded since the federal ban on sports gambling was lifted in 2018. Americans wagered $52.7 billion on sports in 2021, and with that amount of money flowing in, jobs to manage and grow the industry have followed.As newsrooms at traditional media outlets downsized over the past decade (which was exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic), laid-off journalists found they could use their talents to transition seamlessly into sports betting content jobs. For example, in 2017, iconic college football announcer Brent Musburger launched the Vegas Stats and Information Network (VSiN), and in five years, it has become a hub of sports betting content. One of the laid-off journalists from legacy media who found a home with VSiN is Femi Abebefe, who joined the network in 2021 after he got let go from his position as a sports anchor with Seattle's KOMO TV.In today's episode of the WorkInSports Podcast, we revisit VP of Content and Engaged Learning Brian Clapp's conversation with Abebefe as the two talk about:• The importance of his early career years at KTVZ• How he dealt with being laid off at KOMO during the pandemic• What working for a sports betting company like VSiN is like• How to get a job in sports bettingCheck out the full episode to learn more about sports betting content jobs like Femi Abebefe's.

SEATTLE received a setback in its effort to create a supervised heroin consumption site after a federal appeals court denied a similar effort in Philadelphia to create locations for heroin users to inject the drug with a nurse present.The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled 2-1 on Tuesday that a heroin consumption site in Pennsylvania could not open because it would violate federal drug laws, KOMO-TV reported.Judge Stephanos Bibas called the motives by Safehouse, the organization trying to open the site, “admirable” but said “Congress has made it a crime to open a property to others to use drugs."Seattle was waiting to see how the appeals court would rule before deciding whether to move forward.Join your host Sean Reynolds, owner of Summit Properties NW and Reynolds & Kline Appraisal as he takes a look at this developing topic.Support the show (https://buymeacoff.ee/seattlepodcast)

If Almost Live! could be compared to a baseball team, Steve Wilson might have been the groundskeeper. At least on game day. He was the guy in charge of grooming the diamond; preparing the field, cutting the grass, drawing the foul-lines, and raking the infield. He got the field ready - but then, taking managerial duties, he positioned the players and coached them up. He was the show's studio director. Like most of the show's regulars, Steve is a native North Westerner - in his case, Lakewood, Washington -or- Tacoma, if you will. He grew up in a house on the banks of Lake Steilacoom. At the age of six, after seeing his first live TV broadcast at the World's Fair, Steve knew what he wanted to do... be the elevator operator for the Space Needle. No. That's not it. He wanted to get into TV - in any capacity. Performing TV, producing, directing - even repairing them. So he went to Pullman and attended Wazzu, deciding to forgo any thought of being the Coug football team's left tackle - and instead majored in communications. During the summer months, he worked at Disneyland, wearing sweaty costumes as various Disney characters like Pluto and Winnie the Pooh. Indeed, his Disneyland colleagues still say Wilson was the best Poo they ever had. Steve Wilson official sites Steve Wilson | IMDb Steve Wilson | LinkedIn After a six month internship at KING TV, he went to work for the company full-time, becoming a staff director and producer. Talk shows, newscasts, sporting events, concerts and more. And then, in 1985, a different kind of show to direct: Almost Live!. Wilson leapt onto the back of that horse and rode it for 15 years, until it finally keeled over - ready for the glue factory - in 1999. He moved on to other jobs, like directing KOMO TV's 'Northwest Afternoon', which was like 'Almost Live!', but funnier. He even spent 8 months in Hollywood's world of bells and buzzers, directing programs at the Game Show Network in Hollywood. Many years ago, he attended Lakes High School - home of the Lancers. Suitably, Steve has been a free-lancer for some time - and today, he's the go-to director for Microsoft, Starbucks, Amazon - you name it. Because if you don't, he will. But it was 'Almost Live!' that he remembers most fondly. And why not? He was, after all, one of the original "High Fivin' White Guys." Well-qualified because he's white, he's a guy… and he's high. Owner of 23 Emmys - both earned and from eBay - I caught up with Steve Wilson from the Magnolia home he shares with his wife, Julie. So here we go. Please forgive the sketchy Zoom internet audio quality. We had fewer than two bars that day.

If you’re old enough to remember when Seattle television was limited to a handful of broadcast channels and you remember J.P. Patches, you’ve seen the work of Sharon Howard and Mike Rosen. Howard got her start in broadcast TV in 1977 with KIRO-TV as a floor director for newscasts and “The J.P. Patches Show.” It was performed and broadcast live, six mornings a week. Without any rehearsal to speak of. “Well, everybody thinks that we had a script and it was planned, but our plans were to meet in the cafeteria 15 minutes before the show,” Howard said. “And we just played it by ear. Somebody would say, ‘Well, let’s do a “Star Wars” thing. I need an R2D2.’ As a floor director, I think, ‘Oh my god, what am I going to do?’ Well, I go and get the shop vac. That’s the kind of thinking it was.” Rosen arrived in Seattle in the late 1970s and joined KIRO’s news unit as a photographer and Howard caught his eye. They worked together on a few promotional commercials before they started dating.  Meanwhile, Howard moved to KOMO-TV to work on “Frontrunners,” the highly rated weekly show that profiled local high achievers.  It was kind of a “golden era” for quality television, when the locally owned Seattle stations didn’t have to answer to remote corporate owners. “My partner (Ken Morrison) and I used to say, ‘You know, this is the best of television that we’re going through right now,’” Howard said. “We were not told what to do, we did any story we wanted, we had complete freedom.” Rosen concurred. “Whatever the general manager would spend his weekend thinking about is usually what my assignment was,” Rosen said. “Once I spent an hour on Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, which he oddly had not crafted to fit into a 47-minute show with commercials.” In 1980, Mount St. Helens started rumbling and was in the news every day for weeks. After the volcano’s first eruption, Rosen hopped into the KIRO News helicopter, Chopper 7, to report the damage around the mountain. The pilot had just cleared the new crater when Mount St. Helens erupted seconds later with a plume of steam and ash. It was Chopper 7’s first live transmission of an eruption. Rosen knew he was lucky to be in the right place at the right time, but Howard was watching and she was scared.  Howard and Rosen loved the freedom and creativity of working with wildlife and out in nature. And since he no longer worked at competitor KIRO, Howard convinced her boss at KOMO that if she hired Rosen, KOMO would only have to pay for one hotel room on remote assignments.  “We got to go all over the world together,” Howard said. “But we did these documentaries on our own time” because they both still had their full-time jobs. The shared passion for documenting wildlife kept them going, she said.  They worked in very remote locations in Alaska and Africa. They had to pack in all of their supplies and equipment. And this was long before you could shoot a movie with little more than your smartphone and a couple of apps. On a shoot in Rwanda to document silver back gorillas, Howard and Rosen had to hire 30 porters to carry their food, fuel, gear and supplies through brush so dense their feet never touched the ground.  “At one point we looked at each other, because you can see the gorillas, and you can smell the gorillas,” Rosen said. “We decided we’re going to have to call this show ‘Butts of Nature,’ because that’s all we were getting.” During a rest break, a silver-back gorilla broke through the brush. “It walks right up to me, climbs on my lap and puts its head in the lens and sits there for four and a half minutes,” Rosen said. “All the things they tell you (not to do with gorillas) — never make eye contact, don’t get within 15 feet, certainly don’t touch them. And he’s sitting on top of me.” He looked to Howard for guidance. “When you look at your producer who is also your spouse, the first words out of her mouth should be, ‘Are you OK?’ but they weren’t,” Rosen said. “Instead they were, ‘Are you rolling?’” “I’ve never heard the end of that, trust me,” Howard said. Of course Rosen was rolling. He got incredible footage and Howard wrote an incredible story. It’s not easy to write a script for an unscripted nature story, Howard said. She gets her best results “writing to the pictures, and a lot of writers don’t in television. They just write what they want and leave it to the poor editors to have to cover it.” Rosen, more than any of the other photographers Howard worked with, always gave her more than she expected. “Sometimes when you work with a photographer and you think you’ve communicated and he didn’t get what you wanted, then you have to rewrite,” Howard said. “But with Mike, and I’m not saying this just because he’s my spouse … I’ve always gotten more than I set out to get. So I have to rewrite it anyway because I’ve got better stuff than I thought I was going to have.” That could explain how Howard and Rosen’s fruitful collaboration racked up 28 regional Emmy Awards and a national Peabody Award for their features, documentaries and filmmaking.

The response to KOMO TV's hour-long piece on homelessness called “Seattle Is Dying” has been swift and strong, particularly among the progressive community in the state. We talk with the project director for Seattle University's Project on Family Homelessness, Catherine Hinrichsen, about her response, and about the work her organization does, which focuses in part on the power of storytelling to humanize the issue of homelessness. Next, a group of Indivisible members and education advocates travelled to Olympia to testify on behalf of a bill that would institute a capital gains tax in Washington, funds from which would be used to fund vital services like education. We talk with Indivisible member Kathleen Heiman about her experience. And we wrap up with our calls to action from research team leader, Stephen Wilhelm.

In the weeks since KOMO TV aired the "Seattle is Dying" show, the issues of the homeless, addiction, mental health, chronic offenders and the role of the court has come under intense scrutiny. On Monday, April 8, Judge Johanna Bender from the Maleng Regional Justice Center and Judge Veronica Alice-Galvan in Seattle sat down with KIRO's Hanna Scott to clarify the role the court plays in this issue. It's 8 minutes long and informative. This was their second appearance in four days. The first was on KUOW's The Record on Thursday, April 4.

Well before the current frenzy over “tweets gone wild,” Joe Barnes walked into businesses, for profits and non-profits, and would ask: “What’s your social media policy?” The usual response was: We don’t have one, or “Go talk to marketing about that.” In his travels he realized that nearly every business and organization he walked into, no matter what size, did not have a written social media policy, nor did they clearly understand or even know what the Federal Trade Commission requires in the way of disclosure. That’s why he wrote his book: “Social Media Ethics Made Easy: How to Comply with FTC Disclosure Requirements.” The book is available from Business Expert Press or on Amazon. Our host today is Matthew Cummings. ----more---- About our guest: Joe Barnes Joe is a full-time faculty lecturer in marketing, business communications, and social/digital/mobile marketing at the Albers School of Business & Economics at Seattle University. He also consults for businesses and nonprofits nationwide with the business DIGITAL3000.NET, and he has had a long-term relationship with the West Virginia University Integrated Marketing Communications program, starting as an adjunct several years ago, and doing presentations at past INTEGRATE conferences. In 2014, Joe was one of two instructors voted by students to receive the prestigious Alexia Vanides Online Teaching Award. His background includes over 20 years of senior level journalism leadership experience as well as havingconsulted over 75 businesses and nonprofits nationwide in marketing and strategic communications. He has been quoted in two books and is the author of a new book: “Social media Ethics Made Easy: How to Comply with FTC Disclosure Requirements.” Under his leadership in journalism KOMO-TV in Seattle received the coveted Edward R. Murrow award for outstanding journalism.

If you follow the Telling The Story podcast, you have heard several guests describe the process of covering a huge story. But I have never interviewed a guest who had to cover such a story while dealing with the massive personal tragedy it brought. Everyone at KOMO-TV went through it last March, when the station's helicopter crashed in downtown Seattle, killing photographer Bill Strothman and pilot Gary Pfitzner. The journalists and employees in the KOMO newsroom suddenly needed to bring the news of a major story while processing their own emotions. Katie Stern had worked at KOMO for nearly a decade when the crash occurred. She sprung into action and spent the morning as the roving photographer, collecting B-roll and gathering interviews around the scene; then she set up for live shots with reporter Denise Whitaker. All the while, she fought back tears and, she says, at one point could not keep a steady shot because her hands were trembling. Stern is my guest on this episode of the Telling The Story podcast. I received the immense privilege of listening to Stern last month when she spoke at the NPPA Northwest Storytelling Workshop. She shared the stage with Bill Strothman's son, Dan, and the duo reflected upon the experience with composure and eloquence. Their presentation kept the audience silent and attentive; we were all confronted with the potential of finding ourselves in a similar scenario. But regardless if any of us ever cover a personal tragedy, journalists everywhere can take major lessons from Stern on how to cover tragedies in general. "I think that talking about trauma and journalism -- and how the two are forever intertwined -- is so important," Stern said on the podcast. "Slowly we're starting to talk about it more. I think there's a stigma that comes with showing any kind of emotion as a journalist, and I'm really hoping we can wash that away." I completely agree. → The post PODCAST EPISODE #33: Katie Stern, photographer, KOMO-TV appeared first on Telling The Story.
