A Deep Dive Into the TV Newsroom: How the Sausage Is Made
TJI podcast listeners have been asking for it—and this week, Rich and Bryan deliver. In this behind-the-scenes episode, they take you inside the inner workings of a TV newsroom, where 24/7 news coverage requires a complex, nonstop operation that goes far beyond the handful of anchors and reporters you see on screen.

With decades of experience between them, Bryan and Rich share eye-opening stories and insider insights: Who decides what makes it into the newscast? How is fairness and accuracy maintained? What does it take to build a clean, compelling rundown—and how quickly can it all be thrown out when breaking news hits?

From the daily grind of slow news days to the controlled chaos of live disaster coverage, this is a candid look at the high-pressure, high-stakes world of broadcast journalism... and how the news really gets made.
