Listen "Florida Media Conference, Part 1: Sergio Bustos and Kat Wingert"
Episode Synopsis
Divas! Dara took Deeper Dive on the road to the 2025 Florida Media Conference for a special two-part episode to hear from editors and publishers about the state-of-the-state in journalism. In the first segment in this week's episode, Sergio Bustos, WLRN's Vice President for News, discusses how state and federal funding cuts are affecting public radio & TV stations around Florida. Sergio tells Dara how WLRN highlights the experiences of people living in South Florida. The pair also discuss challenges and bright spots in the media landscape. Dara was lucky enough to snag a visit with Kat Wingert, Executive Editor/COO of Observer Media Group. Kat offers insight into the powerful impact her group's "hyper-local" news coverage brings to communities on the Gulf Coast. AND (drumroll, please!) Thanks to the Florida Society of News Editors for making Deeper Dive the state's top podcast in our category! 😎😎😎
