My returning guest this week is Jenn Kho. She's the newly appointed Chicago Sun-Times executive editor, president of the Journalism and Women Symposium, and former managing editor of two global publications with millions of readers: the HuffPost and the Guardian US.

This week, Jenn's back to share what she's learning about herself and her industry through her latest career pivot from consultant to executive editor of one of America's largest daily papers. And she's helping me respond to many requests from the field on how business communicators can learn to think, write, and speak more like a journalist. I can't think of a better person to help me unpack what we journalists do when we're synthesizing vast swathes of information and keeping that copy clear, concise, and compelling.
