Paul Glader’s reporting has taken him all over, from California to Sweden and Germany. He spent 10 years at The Wall Street Journal, where he covered business, travel, technology and even metals and mining. In this episode, we’re chatting about his international experiences, his work as a professor in New York City and the good old basics of reporting.

His piece about a chance meeting with a relative that led to him traveling to Sweden, “A journey up the family tree,” can be found here.

“The best advice I got was, dude, you’re not gonna find a story sitting here in your cubicle. And so you need to get outside and go find a story.”

Guest: Paul Glader, journalism professor at The King’s College in New York City, executive director of The Media Project and director of the Dow Jones News Fund business reporting program.

Host: Jacqueline GaNun.
