This week, we’re thrilled to welcome Taylor Torregano, a dynamic multimedia journalist currently making waves at Spectrum News in Los Angeles. In this engaging conversation with FYI Chief Growth Officer Julie Pilat, Taylor shares her remarkable journey from her early days studying broadcast journalism at San Jose State to her current role at Spectrum. With a unique blend of storytelling and technical prowess, she discusses the importance of local news and the challenges of covering impactful stories in an era of rapid change.
As Taylor reflects on her experiences in various newsrooms, she opens up about the demanding nature of her job, including the pressures of fact-checking and the emotional toll of reporting on sensitive topics. She emphasizes the significance of community connection and the role of trusted journalism in a world rife with misinformation. Whether you’re an aspiring journalist or simply curious about the media landscape, this episode offers valuable takeaways on the art of storytelling and the responsibility that comes with it.
