Behind the Scenes
See how the reporting process unfolds during our week in Seattle.
Day 3 – Wednesday
DAY 3 #nextgenradio: If there was a non-narrated audio story of a busy newsroom in the middle of a deadline, it would be a quiet sound scape of mouse clicks, keyboard pounding, and the indiscernible mumbling of journalists talking and thinking their story out loud. #journolife pic.twitter.com/oQm9Dy2x6t

"Where there's breath, there's hope," says Mikel Kowalcyk, who walked @michellebetz and I through downtown Seattle to track down her clients—people living on the streets and battling drug addiction. Catch the story this Friday. #NextGenRadio @KUOW @erikaaaguilar @nextgenradio pic.twitter.com/cGjIWFg0cu
