"We live here, too, so we very viscerally understand a lot of the experiences of Memphians, how that drives conversations about politics, how that drives different candidate's platforms, and how that may ultimately drive whoever ends up in office."

Samuel Hardiman of The Daily Memphian and Katherine Burgess of The Commercial Appeal share how they approach their role as journalists, how local news coverage impacts culture, and why having the press as a watch-dog for government will always come in handy.
