Aviation editor opines on safety issues, post-COVID travel, technical journalism

Veteran aviation editor, pilot and flight instructor Joy Finnegan has seen and experienced a lot, from the cockpit to the editor’s chair.

But, arguably, nothing in her extensive training could have totally prepared her for the events of the past 18 months. In this edition of Update-1, she speaks with National Press Club Broadcast/Podcast Committee Co-vice Chair Adam Konowe about the challenges of editing three print and digital trade media titles, covering travel-related events from the Boeing 737 MAX grounding to the COVID-19 pandemic, and the prospect for the aviation industry to recover as vaccines become more plentiful.

Mike Hempen produces Update-1. Besides listening on the Club website, Update-1 can be found on Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, Stitcher, TuneIn and Spotify by searching for “NPC Update-1.”
