Tim Redmond is a political and investigative reporter in San Francisco who has been in the muckraking business for close to 40 years. He’s currently editor of 48Hills, an online, progressive, non-profit news outlet based out of San Francisco that offers breaking news, investigative reporting and arts and culture pieces. In addition to his duties at 48Hills, Tim teaches undergraduate journalism at the University of San Francisco as well as a class for the School of Arts in Urban and Public Affairs program.
In this episode, we speak about how Tim got into journalism, the basics of the local news crisis, who is to blame for the crisis, why it is important that local news outlets exist in the first place and why Tim does this kind of work. The idea was for this episode to serve as an introduction so that listeners of this podcast could start wrapping their heads around the issue at hand.
