The State of Newsrooms in Community Radio: KHOL (Jackson, WY)
Description
We’re taking you into newsrooms at community radio stations around the country. Federal funding, a critical resource for these news rooms is no longer. What does that mean for the local news listeners tune in to hear and the people behind the scenes producing it?
We start nearly 800 miles away, gaining about 4,000 feet in elevation with a community radio newsroom that has developed a reputation for fastidious reporting. In 2025, the desk received a Regional Edward R. Murrow Award and two honors from the Public Media Journalists Association. We speak to Sophia Boyd-Fliegel (Managing Editor at KHOL in Jackson, Wy).
