Podcasts about Storm Lake Times

Art Cullen is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and editor of The Storm Lake Times. It's a family-run paper in small town Iowa. There's a great documentary called Storm Lake(2021) about the Cullens and the paper that I highly recommend. He's kinda become THE go-to expert on the Iowa Caucuses, and a recent op-ed about the Caucuses in the New York Timesprompted me to finally reach out and ask him to be on the show. This guy is a hero to many Iowans and I hope you enjoy it. This was also conducted at 7am Los Angeles time, so it's also an example of me talking to a person exponentially smarter than me, while I'm also awake before I want to be.

This week's guest is Editor of The Storm Lake Times and Pulitzer Prize Winner Art Cullen. Art is a true rural journalist and old fashioned newspaper man with a strong message for both the Republicans and Democrats. 

This month, Storm Lake became a one-newspaper town. With the help of a billionaire, the Storm Lake Times bought its competitor the Pilot Tribune. How will consolidation impact its journalism?

The rise of instant updates from today's online news sources have left many to regard the local newspaper as a thing of the past.  But Atr Cullen describes how he and his family have kept Iowa's Storm Lake Times newspaper alive and prosperous in the digital age. Cullen is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and editor of The Storm Lake Times, a family-run weekly newspaper in Storm Lake, Iowa.  He has made it his life's work to ask the big questions, speak truth to power, and share the struggles and successes of his community.  Part cultural history, part memoir, his book, “Storm Lake: A Chronicle of Change, Resilience, and Hope from a Heartland Newspaper” explores the themes of family, community, immigration, and the Heartland's turbulent history and promising progressive future.  It is both a story of cultural upheaval and loss and a story of successes and surprising sources of optimism for those who still believe in the promise of America.  The small town of Storm Lake is vividly described as a diverse, growing community enhanced by immigration from Mexico, Laos and other countries.  It is a story of how immigration revitalizes America culturally and spiritually, and how a small newspaper plays its role in investigating, explaining and sharing the life of the community around it.  “Storm Lake” was published in 2018.

In this eye-opening look into decline and the importance of small town journalism, Storm Lake follows Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist Art Cullen and his family as they fight to unite and inform their Iowan farming community through their biweekly newspaper, The Storm Lake Times—come hell or pandemic. Dark clouds hang over the cornfields of Storm Lake, Iowa, which has seen its fair share of change in the 40 years since Big Agriculture came to town. Farmers blow their life savings on new equipment they hope will keep their livelihoods intact. Migrant workers flock here—welcome and not—for their slice of the American Dream. The people of Storm Lake confront a changing and precarious existence. Enter: Art Cullen and his family members who deliver local news and editorials on a shoestring budget for their 3,000 readers. This paper means a fighting chance for their beloved hometown, and by hook or by crook, they'll make the most of it. There's simply too much at stake. Co-directors Jerry Risius and Betty Levison join us for a conversation on the decline of local news, quantifiably and qualitatively, why it matters and why Art Cullen and his family's business is a lynch-pin of a functioning democracy.

A new PBS documentary, "Storm Lake," tells the story of a family run newspaper, The Storm Lake Times, and its editors who are trying to serve an Iowa town as it struggles to adapt to the ever-increasing footprint of Big Agriculture in the area. Directors Jerry Risius and Beth Levison speak with us about the paper, the making of the film, and the impact of local journalism in small towns. "Storm Lake" premieres on PBS on November 15.

Ask Google what Storm Lake, Iowa is famous for and you'll learn that it's the fourth largest glacier lake in the state and is considered the region's best for walleye fishing. But this seemingly ordinary town of 11,000 in northwest Iowa is also the home of the Pulitzer Prize-winning biweekly The Storm Lake Times, edited by the incomparable Art Cullen. In Jerry Risius and Beth Levison's beguiling documentary “Storm Lake,” we meet Art and the rest of the Cullen clan, who, together, are fighting the good fight for the continued survival of small, independent journalism in this country. Beth joins Mike and Ken for a delightful conversation about her thoroughly enjoyable ride of a film. We ask about topics big and small, including the future of journalism, what it's like when the presidential primary circus comes to town, how Andrew Bird came to lend his musical chops to the film, and even what really goes on above the Better Day Cafe (hint: son Tom Cullen lived there). The podcast is free, even if the paper costs a dollar (but well worth it). You won't want to miss our conversation or the documentary, which premieres on PBS' Independent Lens on November 15th.   Follow Beth on twitter @Beth_Levison Follow us on twitter @topdocspod   Hidden Gems: Advocate Lydia Lunch: The War is Never Over Charm Circle Also mentioned:  Art Cullen's Book, Storm Lake.

And finally we get into some other happenings at FilmScene for the fall season.

With demographics shrinking and traditional business models evaporating, newspapers across the nation are trying to find ways of staying alive and vibrant. Art Cullen, the Pulitzer Prize-winning editor of the Storm Lake Times in Iowa, is trying a new approach by building the Western Iowa Journalism Foundation to create a tax-deductible mechanism for supporting local journalism. Cullen recently appeared with Simpson's seniors in Multimedia Communication to talk about the new models, and this week's podcast is an edited version of that discussion.

Radio rallies in church parking lots, candidates in their basements, and voters stuck in hibernation. When all that's left to cover are the talking points, how should local and national political reporters adapt? This week, the national press missed the heartland's biggest story, a series of storms that devastated the center of the country. On this week's Kicker, Art Cullen, editor and co-owner of the Storm Lake Times in Iowa, and Ayesha Rascoe, a White House reporter for NPR, join Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of CJR, to discuss journalism's struggle to avoid the mistakes of 2016 while in the midst of a pandemic.

This week’s is a special summer vacation edition of On Iowa Politics On Iowa Politics is a weekly news and analysis podcast that aims to re-create the kinds of conversations that happen when you get political reporters from across Iowa together after the day’s deadlines have been met.

Art Cullen, editor of the Storm Lake Times, a family-run newspaper in Storm Lake, Iowa, joined Berkeley Journalism professor and author Michael Pollan on Jan. 29, 2020, to discuss journalism in rural America, Trump and the farm vote, immigration, regenerative agriculture and the potential for farmers to sequester carbon to help curb climate change.

Last year I had Art Cullen on to talk about his book "Storm Lake: Change, Resilience, and Hope in America's Heartland." It was one of my favorite books of 2019 and I made a mental note to myself to ask him to come back for another appearance when the book came out this year in paperback. I contacted him in January-he asked me to check back with him after the Iowa caucuses. So I did that. Then he asked me to get back to him after the Super Tuesday primaries. I did that, too. You see Art is a busy guy-he is the editor of the Storm Lake Times in rural NW Iowa and he's highly sought after as a columnist, and as an expert on politics. Fortunately I was able to get Art to return to the show before the Coronavirus outbreak hit. This pandemic has been quite a blow to small town newspapers as the advertising revenue they rely upon, ads bought by small local businesses in their communities, virtually dried up with the onset of illnesses and the shuttering of so many enterprises.

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump didn't visit towns like Storm Lake, Iowa in 2016. This election cycle, things are much different. Art Cullen, editor and co-owner of the Storm Lake Times, and winner of the 2017 Pulitzer for Editorial Writing, has interviewed 15 presidential candidates, including Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders, Joe Biden, and Pete Buttigieg. On this week's Kicker, he talks to Kyle Pope, editor and publisher of CJR, about what national political reporters get wrong and what they should be focused on instead. Cullen is the author of “Storm Lake: Change, Resilience, and Hope in America's Heartland” (Penguin, 2018)

There's a new power broker in national politics, but it's not a politician. Art Cullen, editor of the tiny Iowa newspaper the Storm Lake Times, won the Pulitzer Prize in 2017 for his op-eds on Big Ag meddling in local communities. Now, presidential candidates make sure to visit him while on the campaign trail. Ahead of the Iowa caucus, Cullen talks to legendary food writer Michael Pollan about rural economics, climate change, and the presidential election. This interview comes to us thanks to the UC-Berkeley School of Journalism and the Berkeley-11th Hour Food and Farming Fellowship.

I have little in common with Art Cullen, the Editor and Chief of the rural Iowa newspaper, The Storm Lake Times. Yet, I find myself in awe of his commitment. Particularly his commitment to place. His commitment to Storm Lake's beauty, challenges, triumphs, people, diversity and its message to America. His example is a beacon to all who hope to lead in some small way.

The new batch of Pulitzer Prize winners was announced today, with journalists awarded for deep reporting on coverage of presidential finances and mass shootings, among an array of other topics. This year's Pulitzer for Editorial Writing went to Brent Staples of the New York Times -- breaking a two-year streak in which the award was won by Iowa writers. Art Cullen of the Storm Lake Times won in 2017. I happened to share a panel discussion with him last weekend, thanks to an invitation from fellow newsman Harry Smith of NBC. The three of us spent 90 minutes waxing poetic on the topic of storytelling at the Iowa Broadcast News Association's annual convention. As part of that, Cullen told the tale of winning the Pulitzer -- the reporting that led up to it and the exuberance of clinching the win. As a tip of the hat to all Pulitzer winners past and present, here's that colorful story from the convention. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/journalistsaremyheroes/support

Pulitzer Prize winning writer Art Cullen joins us on the podcast. Cullen, editor of The Storm Lake Times, won the 2017 Pulitzer Prize in Editorial Writing. His work detailed the role deceptive agricultural corporations played in a lawsuit between three rural Iowa counties and Des Moines Water Works regarding water pollution. In the wake of that award, Cullen was approached by a handful of publishers about writing a book. He wrote Storm Lake: A Chronicle of Change, Resilience, and Hope from a Heartland Newspaper, a book about both his life and the life of a community in northwest Iowa that has been challenged by changes in the meat-packing industry and shaped by diversity. In the podcast, Cullen talks about practicing journalism in a small community, the positive impact The Storm Lake Times has had on the town's large immigrant population, and more.

On The Gist, first we’ve got misleading statistics.  In 2016, Art Cullen wrote a series of editorials for the Storm Lake Times, a small newspaper in Iowa, uncovering the murky depths of a fight between local and state governments about water pollution. They followed the money, and discovered a fight funded by agricultural corporations, and ended up winning the Pulitzer Prize for editorial writing.

A small rural town in Iowa is an anomaly. I had a conversation with the Pulitzer Prize winning editor of the Storm Lake Times, who is outspoken about immigrants and not afraid to take on big corporate agriculture business and environmental issues. He had a lot to say about farming today, immigrants, and Iowa.
