June 12, 2020 — We hear a lot about local journalism on Fridays at kzyx, and soon our listeners will get to hear more of it from our new environmental reporter, Lana Cohen, who just joined us from Brooklyn. She’ll be splitting her time between this radio station and the Mendo Voice, through a program called Report for America.
She’s worked for environmental organizations, an investigative newsroom in New York, and as
an outdoor guide, where she learned all about how to take care of sensitive communications equipment under pretty rugged conditions.
After two weeks of quarantine, she’s already doing interviews, exploring the county, and familiarizing herself with her beat.
