“Psychologically, [injuries] mess with you — as much as it does physically, right?”
In the sixth episode of “How It’s Reported,” Podcast Editor Ryan Nguyen takes sports editor Shawn Medow on a run down memory lane and talk about his cover story on former University of Oregon track and field athlete Kate Murphy. They discuss Murphy’s journey, strategies for interviewing sources and how sports journalism is more than player statistics and goal counts.
Shawn’s cover story: “Road to recovery: Runner Kate Murphy makes a comeback”
Maggie’s cover story: “Mentally Tough: A group of Oregon athletes is trying to normalize mental health conversations in athletics through their campaign, ‘Duck The Stigma’”
