Five Dubs Podcast
In this episode, Rebecca talks with Jeremy Cox, reporter for the Chesapeake Bay Journal, about the publication’s Bay Journal Newscast and its approach to reaching audiences through audio. Jeremy explains how the monthly podcast gives listeners a quick, conversational look at the most important environmental stories across the Chesapeake Bay watershed, while also standing on its own as a source of news.
They also discuss the unique challenges of covering the Chesapeake Bay as an interconnected system rather than a traditional geographic beat, and how the Bay Journal uses its expertise to provide context and depth that can be difficult for general-interest newsrooms to offer. Jeremy shares how the publication is expanding its audio storytelling, adapting print reporting for different formats, and using podcasts and radio to bring its environmental journalism to new audiences.
