On this episode we're joined by Kaela Roeder. Kaela is the lead reporter in Washington D.C. and Virginia for Technically (Technical dot LY), a national news organization that reports on local innovation economies in the United States, a newsroom that has done so since 2009.
Kaela has been with them for 2 years. Prior to that she's had a few different jobs, including one as deputy editor for Street Sense Media, covering homelessness in the DC/Baltimore region and LGBTQ issues for the Washington Blade.
Kaela is a graduate of American University with a journalism degree where, among other things, she won an award for aspiring LGBTQ journalists.
Kaela explained Technically's purpose and the kind of stories she reports on. She shared how she learned on the fly so that she could cover this beat. And she detailed important things for young journalists to know as well as those she's recently learned that help her in her job.
