Description

On this episode we're joined by Cara Kuhlman. Cara is the director of digital strategy and products for KNKX Public Radio in Seattle. She is also the founder of Future Tides, which provides news for people who work, play, and live on the Pacific Northwest's waterways.

I'm interested in that in particular because Cara is doing some clever things to engage with her readership, including using her expertise to give tours to local residents.

Cara talked about how she started this project from scratch and how she's built it over the last few years. She spoke about what she's done with her tours and how she's planning to help others who want to give tours to their community. She also shared the organizations that have been helpful to her, which includes a program at CUNY-Newmark, Lion Publishers, and Tiny News Collective.

Cara's salute: Monica Nickelsburg, KUOW-FM reporter
