Georgia Fort: Covering the Chauvin Trial, Fighting for Press Freedom & Building the Future of Journalism

Journalist and media innovator Georgia Fort joins Fanshen and Shawn for a powerful conversation about her journey from radio intern to Emmy-nominated independent journalist — and why she's dedicating her career to building the next generation of storytellers. Georgia takes us inside the Derek Chauvin trial courtroom, talks about her transition from radio to TV news, and shares the deeply personal story of being detained by federal agents while doing her job.

She also breaks down the business challenges facing independent journalism and why she founded the Center for Broadcast Journalism to invest in young journalists of color in Minnesota. Plus: Georgia's Let's Talk Tech segment on B-roll, and her beautiful answer to the Sista Brunch signature question.
