Jonah Chester

Jonah Chester says he had an “Oh, shit!” moment when, as a senior at the Indiana University Media School, he realized he should be job searching but had no practical experience. This led him to intern for two semesters at WFHB, where he developed a skill set he now uses producing podcasts for California based Mission Studios. Chester talked with WFHB correspondent Sarah Vaughan about his internship, the value of community reporting, and his proudest moment as a WFHB correspondent.
