21-WFMJ News Podcast

Mar 1 2024 • 47 mins

"The Outcue" is a 21 News journalist perspective of our top news stories.

Each week, the 21 News staff, including reporters and managers, will discuss what goes on behind the scenes in covering stories for you - from the newsgathering process to getting the final product on the air, in this new video podcast.

In episode two, Assistant News Director J. Breen Mitchell is joined by anchor/reporter Madison Tromler and Senior Digital Content Manager Robert McFerren to discuss our deep dive investigation for the last year and a half involving the questionable spending of millions of dollars by the Youngstown City School District.

We discuss the behind-the-scenes of what we uncovered: Millions of dollars wasted of federal and district funds for projects that ended up not helping a single student or employee in the district, all while the struggling district was under a state-appointed CEO and continued after the district was returned to board control.

Turn in every Friday on our YouTube channel or listen to the audio version on all major podcast platforms.

The podcast name - The Outcue - is a broadcast term that means the last few words of reporting before the package ends. We hope you enjoy it.
