North Carolina hasn't legalized the growth or sale of marijuana yet, but the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians, on the Qualla Boundary, are a sovereign nation. Two years ago, the Tribal Council approved the growth and sale of medicinal marijuana for Tribal members and just last month opened their program to anyone living in North Carolina, though its dispensary hasn't opened yet.Jennifer Emert, an investigative reporter with WLOS-TV, recently produced a three-part series for the station about the tribe's program and the prospects for statewide legalization. We talk through her reporting, including some tension within the tribe about the program's fiscal responsibility and what the impact of state legalization might mean for the region's CBD and hemp industries.Support The Overlook by joining our Patreon campaign!Advertise your event on The Overlook.Instagram: AVLoverlook | Facebook: AVLoverlook | Twitter: AVLoverlookListen and Subscribe: All episodes of The OverlookThe Overlook theme song, "Maker's Song," comes courtesy of the Asheville band The Resonant Rogues.Podcast Asheville © 2023

Investigative journalist Karen Zatkulak produced a recent three-part series on North Carolina's evolving gun laws for WLOS-TV. We talk about the magnitude of the North Carolina legislature doing away with any required permits to purchase a handgun. We go through the efficacy and differing approaches to background checks, the influence of the NRA and the absolutism of those who regard the Second Amendment of the US Constitution as sacrosanct.Support The Overlook by joining our Patreon campaign!Advertise your event on The Overlook.Instagram: AVLoverlook | Facebook: AVLoverlook | Twitter: AVLoverlookListen and Subscribe: All episodes of The OverlookThe Overlook theme song, "Maker's Song," comes courtesy of the Asheville band The Resonant Rogues.Podcast Asheville © 2023

Wildlife officials say the black bear population in Western North Carolina stands at about 8,000. That's eight times the estimated total of just 40 years ago.  Karen Zatkulak, a reporter with WLOS-TV, was among the journalists who produced stories for the station's recent “Bear Week.” We'll talk about the factors leading wildlife officials to pivot from a strategy of boosting to curbing the region's bear population. We'll also talk about findings in her reporting she found surprising and get details about a controversial black bear center in Cherokee.Support The Overlook by joining our Patreon campaign!Advertise your event on The Overlook.Instagram: AVLoverlook | Facebook: AVLoverlook | Twitter: AVLoverlookListen and Subscribe: All episodes of The OverlookThe Overlook theme song, "Maker's Song," comes courtesy of the Asheville band The Resonant Rogues.Podcast Asheville © 2023

Jeff Postell was a 21-year-old police officer when he made an arrest in the middle of the night in a small North Carolina town. That arrest ended a five year manhunt for the Olympic Park Bomber, Eric Rudolph, and changed Postell's life in an instant. In this season finale, we track him down to find out what happened to the soft-spoken North Carolinian who brought in a notorious fugitive.

It was a pretty cool moment. At last year's NPPA Southeast Storytelling Workshop, one of the loudest ovations came for someone in the audience. One of our speakers was talking about the innovative work being done at his company, and he showed a live shot from a reporter and photographer who happened to be in attendance at the workshop. During the shot, for a story about a suspect who left a fingerprint at the scene, the reporter smudged his thumb on the camera, and the photographer panned toward a light that enabled the thumbprint to appear on the camera. Check it out: [video width="576" height="320" mp4="http://tellingthestoryblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/video-1495075606.mp4"][/video] The workshop crowd erupted ... because the reporter and photographer had made the extra effort to conceive and execute a compelling and eye-catching live shot. Fast forward a year later, and that reporter -- WLOS-TV's Justin Hinton -- has gone from attending a workshop to presenting. He will be speaking with coworker Evan Donovan at the 2017 Sound of Life Storytelling Workshop. Hinton is my guest on Episode #55 of the Telling the Story podcast. Check out this episode for a great discussion of how to strengthen one's live shots, which often veer to the extremes of either sameness or gimmickry. Hinton also talks about the moves he made in college to catalyze a strong start in the business. → The post PODCAST EPISODE #55: Justin Hinton, reporter, WLOS-TV appeared first on Telling The Story.

If you work -- or wish to work -- in local television news, you will want to hear this hour of audio. Last month John Kirtley and I hosted and directed the NPPA Southeast Storytelling Workshop, at which a sold-out crowd heard from a bevy of the best storytellers nationwide. One of the highlights was a panel discussion featuring two people of tremendous influence at the nation's largest broadcast media groups: Ellen Crooke, VP of News at TEGNA, and Scott Livingston, VP of News at Sinclair. I have known Crooke for more than a decade; she has hired me twice, and I fully admit to being a tremendous admirer of her passion for storytelling and desire to change the landscape of TV news. I met Livingston for the first time at this workshop, but I am a huge fan of his photojournalistic mindset and the storytelling culture and teamwork that exists at many of his stations. During this panel, both offered tremendous insights into: the current TV news landscape and what's being done to improve it the ways in which both enterprise and in-the-mix journalism can be done better the types of journalists who stand out to them, and the ways in which young journalists can make themselves valuable in a newsroom I hope you enjoy this segment called "A Look at the Landscape", and I urge you to leave your thoughts in the comments below. → The post PODCAST EPISODE #42: Ellen Crooke, TEGNA; Scott Livingston, Sinclair appeared first on Telling The Story.

Through the first 40 episodes of the Telling The Story podcast, I followed a self-made rule that I would avoid repeating guests. I wanted to showcase as many storytellers and journalists as I could, so I refused to interview the same person twice. This week, I am breaking that rule. But it's for a good reason. My guest for Episode #41 is John Kirtley, who by day works at Asheville's WLOS-TV as the assistant chief photojournalist. When he last appeared on the podcast, we mostly discussed the craft of visual storytelling. But John, like me, has recently added a second professional title: co-director of the NPPA Southeast Storytelling Workshop, June 10-11 in Atlanta. John first came to me with the idea last March; we tabled the discussion until this January, and once we officially decided to do it, we began a long road of meticulous planning and non-stop calls and messages. Now the workshop is barely a week away, and I invited John back on the podcast to discuss how we hope people will benefit from it. This is a great listen for anyone coming to the Southeast workshop, but it is important on a broader level for any journalist or storyteller who has thought about attending a workshop at all. John and I are big believers in the value of occasionally removing ourselves from the daily grind to focus on improving our skills. If you are not coming to Atlanta, you should think seriously about the other workshops and conferences that regularly dot the journalistic landscape.

At the end of this podcast, I joke, "I can retire the podcast now!" Don't worry ... I don't plan to retire it. But I probably could, now that I have interviewed one of the most revered and decorated storytellers ever. My guest for Episode #40 is Boyd Huppert. The feature reporter for KARE-TV in the Twin Cities is widely known nationwide for his absorbing and touching stories, which regularly find their way to NBC Nightly News and the Today Show. For many in local TV, Huppert is an idol -- the man whose career and talents we all dream of having. I can't think of a single storyteller who does it better. In recent years, Huppert has also become well known as a teacher. He works with stations worldwide, speaks at conferences, and last year even gave a TED Talk. Huppert will also, I'm proud to announce, be the keynote speaker at this year's NPPA Southeast Storytelling Workshop, being held in Atlanta June 10th and 11th. I am organizing and co-hosting the conference with photojournalist (and one-time podcast guest) John Kirtley of WLOS-TV in Asheville. We welcome anyone looking to improve as a storyteller and receive inspiration from some of the best in the country, particularly our keynote speaker. Click here to learn more and register for the conference, Feel free to e-mail me with questions at the address below. In the meantime, enjoy this podcast with a legendary storyteller who speaks about his background, offers advice for getting the most out of workshops, and gives his insights and tips for young journalists. → The post PODCAST EPISODE #40: Boyd Huppert, reporter, KARE-TV appeared first on Telling The Story.

Before you listen to this podcast, you need to watch a video. This video. This is a snippet from an interview with Will Ferrell, where host Katie Couric plays a clip of the actor's work in college as an aspiring sportscaster. At the 42-second mark, you see Ferrell pontificating about a beauty pageant, deadpanning about the contestants while a co-anchor nods graciously and holds Ferrell's microphone. That co-anchor is John Le, and he is my guest on this episode of the Telling The Story podcast. We all know what became of Ferrell, but his sidekick in that clip has developed an illustrious career of his own. Le is regarded as one of the top feature reporters in the industry and has won five regional Edward R. Murrow awards along with a rising stack of regional Emmys. He is a finalist for this year's NPPA national Best of Photojournalism award for Reporting. He is also a hoot. Perhaps Ferrell's comedic instincts rubbed off on him (or maybe it was the reverse?), but Le is an effervescent presence whose personality more than stands out during this podcast. → The post PODCAST EPISODE #39: John Le, reporter, WLOS-TV appeared first on Telling The Story.

Ingrid talks about taking chances going from news reporter to morning meteorologist.

Roughly seven minutes into this episode of the Telling The Story podcast, guest John Kirtley said the following: "No one said this was easy. If it was easy, the world of storytelling wouldn't be such a unique thing." During an already honest interview, this was a particularly honest moment. So often in this business, we try to maintain an optimistic, even idealistic, point of view. But Kirtley made his opinion perfectly clear: this job is difficult. And to do it well, and to do it regularly? Even tougher. "It's practice; you know that. You gotta work on improving a little detail each time, and eventually you're going to get to the point where it all adds up." Kirtley has seen things add up. He has worked in numerous cities in his ten-year career, but he has found a home in Asheville, N.C., where he has now become the assistant chief photographer at WLOS-TV. He has also claimed seven regional Emmy awards. He joins me for Episode #25 of the Telling The Story podcast. → The post PODCAST EPISODE #25: John Kirtley, photographer, WLOS-TV appeared first on Telling The Story.
